Winter muffins with cranberry and nuts are a cozy treat filled with the aroma of spices and a slight tartness from the berries.

These muffins are perfect with hot tea on a frosty day, reminiscent of traditional winter treats in Europe. With their rich composition, they are not only tasty but also nutritious.
