White Chocolate Cranberry Muffins

Red, tart berries (aka cranberries) and white chocolate chips are often added to muffins. It is a great combo - tart cranberries and creamy chips. This is my version, the base muffin batter being the hidden, weird potato version I created of late.

I know these are not very good pictures, I was missing the sun (it was raining).

Cranberries and white chocolate chips may be added to your favorite basic muffin or cupcake recipe also. That way you wouldn't have to try a new recipe, if you're not feeling adventurous at the moment ;).

Anyway, these went very fast. I guess they were good! Although, I only used 1/2 cup of chips, and one of my sisters informed me that they really could use more. So I think 1 cup would be good. (Mom's added note - I don't like cranberries . . . too tart for this ole mouth!! :o )
