These muffins do not peak in the middle. If you over-fill the muffin cups the batter will run over the sides of each cup and make them difficult to remove. This recipe can also be baked as a cake in a 9 X 9-inch pan for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup Earth Balance Margarine
3/4 cup milled cane sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Rumford baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
