When I saw the Cranberry Vanilla Muffins from the November 2010 Traditional Menu, I just had to adapt them! And the easiest adaption is to use my Gluten and Dairy Free Fresh Fruit Vanilla Muffins.  Easy-Peasy.  Obviously fresh cranberries might be hard to get right now, so feel free to use frozen.  I like this muffin also with black cherries, strawberries or blueberries.  Yum!  I dressed to top of the muffin with a bit of turbinado sugar to give it a touch of sweet crunch and that coffee house flair.
