    Not quite 5 stars but better than 4. After softening the cranberries, I did not discard the juice. I left it in, hoping to avoid the dryness mentioned by others. Added 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Used fresh squeezed orange juice.
    I thought these muffins were very tasty and had a nice firm texture.

    A little dry, but overall pretty good. Crumbles easily...

    I sprinkled chunky decorative sugar over the tops before baking. They looked amazing but I was disappointed that they were so dry. I'll have to play with the recipe to try to fix that.

    i justtt made them, eating one right now and i must say they taste pretty good.i wish i could make them like a bit crunchier on top but other than that they are amazing!!! and i would personally use less cranberries maybe a little more than half a cup or else its too sweet i guess and maybe 2 table spoons of orange zest and 3/4s cup of OJ. and i made the first 6 without sour cream and vanilla and the last 6 with a dollop of sour cream and about 1/2 tea spoon of vanilla. i also added a table spoon of oil and a little bit more butter and they came out pretty moist. overall i was happy with my muffins

    The flavor is good... I added twice as much zest. However, they are on the dry side. Next time I make them I will use more oj and add sour cream, as stated below.

    Love the tart flavors in this one. Pair it with some orange marmalade for a nice breakfast

    My rating is contingent upon a few changes. As a lot of others have noted, they are a bit dry and a little bit bland, so here's what I did:

    -Simmered the dried cranberries in 1/2 c. Orange Juice (and did not drain
    -1 T. Orange zest
    -1/4 c. Sour Cream extra
    -1/4 c. Brown Sugar extra
    -1 t. vanilla

    With these changes they were great and I'll definitely make them again! Maybe even with more orange zest next time :

    The best cranberry orange muffins not from a mix we have ever had. However I did change a few things. I omitted the salt and used salted butter, added a teaspoon of vanilla, omitted the milk and just used orange juice in its place, omitted the orange zest and added 1/3c. of pureed sweet potatoes. That helped with the color of the muffins. I also used 1c. of frozen cranberries instead of the dried, I just folded them in at the end. Next time I might add a little more OJ just a little dry. Otherwise, delish!!!!!!

    These muffins are good straight out of the oven with a pat of butter. I followed another person's post and added some ginger, which was a nice touch. However, they weren't as moist as I would have hoped.
