This recipe, from allrecipes.co.uk, proved to be a good basic recipe, although I didn't get 12 muffins from it. It was incredibly easy to mix - whisk the wet ingredients together, mix the dry ingredients in another bowl and stir the dry into the wet. The muffins were also light enough to pass muster with CT, who usually prefers shop bought muffins(!!).
The basic muffin batter was not over-sweet, and I used 70% chocolate, so the sweetness of the marzipan and dried sweetened cranberries stood out well.
Unfortunately, they were eaten before I could get a picture of the inside of one of them! The only complaint, from FB, was not enough marzipan.

Marzipan and I aren't great friends - but there are other members of my family who get along very well with it - will need to remember this recipe for the next time they visit. They look the perfect muffins.
Love the sound of marzipan, chocolate and cranberries together. Divine. A real mix of sweet, bitter, chewy etc. Yum
They look great, and good to hear that CT enjoyed them too. It's always good to have a standby basic recipe that can be adapted.
I really like the idea of them containing marzipan... it's an ingredient I rarely use like this but it ha such an obvious place in a muffin... nice work my friend!
Ohhh! Love the idea of the secret ace ingredient- marzipan. I can't frankly get enough of the stuff but always associate it with festivities.... But no longer!
Lovely looking muffins. I know a few people who will enjoy this. I myself don't like marzipan.
Suelle, you and I share a lack of love for muffins, so when you post one, I always take notice! It sounds like they were a big hit too, if they disappeared before you had a chance to photograph the crumb! :)
