These muffins are a great way to use leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving! They are so soft and fluffy and so delicious with the roasted pecans on top. The sugar amount needed depends on how sweet your cranberry sauce is. You can go up to 1/2 cup if the leftover cranberry sauce is on the tart side.
