Cranberry & Chocolate Chip Muffins

I was browsing through my stack of cookbooks and recipe books when I stumble across my old Home Economics textbook which I used way back in my secondary school days. As I flip through the book, i came across a muffin recipe which I used to like when it was taught during one of my lessons. Memories of the muffins we used to bake came back and I decide to "revive" the recipe. *LOL* The original recipe calls for raisins. I added cranberry in one batch and chocolate chips in another and they taste just as good. Folks at home like it cos it is just the right consistency, not too moist or dry and most importantly it is not too sweet.
