I got some butternut squash and cranberries (both I am not fond of) in my Bountiful Basket last week. Not having a clue what to do with them, I came up with this surprisingly yummy muffin. I made up this butternut squash and cranberry muffins recipe with what I had on hand. It is really very light, tasty, and not too sweet. I serve mine with honey or sweetened cream cheese. If possible, always choose organic.
