The other day I made my own cranberry sauce.
The batch was a test and not for Thanksgiving yet. Since it came out so well, I thought I would try to incorporate the leftovers into some delicious baked goods. The first thing I made was my cranberry thumbprint cookies.
I came up with this muffin recipe because my daughter Meadow always talks about surprises inside the yogurt I make for her. I just take whole milk yogurt and put a little fruit in the middle. She gets a huge kick out of that. It’s almost like finding a hidden treasure. The sweet thinking of a three year old’s mind. 🙂

I used jumbo cups and only got three muffins. I would suggest using regular sized muffin cups.
