These savoury dried cranberry muffins with Stilton cheese are packed full of cheesy flavour.

The creamy, richness of the Stilton cheese works well with the sweet, tanginess of the cranberries. With a hint of mustard, these dried cranberry muffins are delicious topped with finely chopped walnuts.

  • 185g Stilton, crumbled into small pieces

Top tips for making dried cranberry muffins

To make this recipe even simpler, if that could be possible, use white stilton and cranberry cheese (instead of the separate cheese and dried fruit). The flavour will be subtler but extremely delicious all the same.
