The 1988-89 fourth grade class of Washington School in Merrill, Wisconsin, proposed the Cranberry Muffin be named Wisconsin?s state muffin. This was basically their recipe, only adapted to be vegan with the egg substitute and the soy margarine.
Cranberries and orange make a lovely combination. Light golden muffins start off the morning in a special way.

  1. How funny! I basically made the same muffins today, only gluten-free as well. I used 2.5 c. of gluten-free oats ground to flour in the blender instead of wheat flour. The rest was basically the same.
