Spidey Senses

Don’t berry your feelings – I berried it in these healthy muffins for you. Oh, and I didn’t use just any berries. I used one of fall’s classical fruits, cranberries. While there seemed to be a local shortage of this vitamin C loaded fruit, I managed to get my hands on some. What did I do with them? I added it to muffins. Not just any muffins, but for my scary- not - so scary spidey muffins. Let’s just say this is a great way to get my nephews to chow down on some wholesome muffins. These muffins are on the tartier side due to the cranberries; however, the cinnamon and chocolate topping does give a hint of sweetness. Give them a try and let me know what you think.
