Delicious muffins and surprisingly easy! I don't know why the difficulty level is intermediate because the recipe was very easy to follow. The only thing that was a major pain in the butt was chopping the cranberries because they roll all over the cutting board! I used an ice cream scooper to spoon the batter into the muffin pan and they came out perfect and uniform in size. Will make again, it's a really good way to use up those fresh cranberries that always seem to linger in the fridge after thanksgiving.

These muffins are very moist and delicious. A lot of flavor!!! I used almonds instead of hazelnuts, skim milk instead of whole milk, and 4 oz of butter and 4 oz of canola oil instead of a 1/2 of butter. Everyone loved them. Thank you!

I've never used fresh cranberries or figs before and didn't know if I'd like them, they are fabulous! I didn't have hazelnuts so I used almonds but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. These muffins are the best!!

I'm not a muffin fan, but THESE muffins are amazing!! I did a few substitutions. I only used 3/4 cup of raw honey and omitted the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar. I substituted walnuts for the hazelnuts. I substituted 1 1/2 Whole Wheat Pastry Flour and 1 1/2 cups Spelt Flour for the 3 cups all--purpose flour. I used 2 1/2 tbsp cinnamon. I substituted freshly ground nutmeg for the ginger. I did not have figs on hand so I omitted that ingredient and did no substitution. I did not use large eggs, but rather two small fresh from the farm eggs. I also added 5 tbsp ground flax meal. I must have smaller muffin pans (each well is 2 3/4 wide by 1 1/4 deep because I ended up with 22 muffins - or maybe because I only filled each well a little bit below the top. My brother who loves muffins, and ALL things sweets, gobbled a few up and took half of my muffins home with him! My husband is working on the other half very quickly :- Thanks Ina for another wonderful recipe!!

Fantastic!! We all love them. I used dates, added the zest of 1 orange and 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla. Yummy!

Wow, was the first word out of my husband's mouth when he ate these! They are light and tasty. I followed the recipe exactly with no problems. I love figs, but unfortunately, due to their light flavor, you could not taste them too much. Maybe they were there more for texture? The taste of the roasted hazelnuts, though, really came through. The muffins are definitely a great addition to my muffin recipes and one that I'll be making again!

I've made this recipe twice in the last 2 weeks and it is one of my favorites as far as muffin recipes go. The family gobbled them up and I'm planning to put them into some of my christmas food gift baskets. I omitted the figs/nuts and just used the cranberries (dried and still so delicious. I can always count on Ina for great recipes that I can reproduce at home! She's my #1 favorite celeb chef!!

Some of the best muffins I have ever made! A fantastic recipe for sure! I didn't have any figs around and they are still really tasty and I even added some ground flax for an additional health kick and they are perfect. These will be made all winter every year at my house!
