Toad Muffins (remember Super Mario?)

A had a beautiful Yellow Bell Pepper in my fridge waiting to be made into something so that something became MUFFINS! These were a lot like my Zucchini Muffins (but with Bell Peppers, of course) and I added some dried Cranberries instead of nuts. Don't they looke like Toad from Super Mario? See the resemblence?
Ingredients: (6 muffins)

1 cbell pepper (1 small), chopped in food processor
1/3 c melted unsalted butter
½ c sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
1½ c all-purpose flour
½ c dried cranberries

Prep:

You don't need a mixer for this recipe.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix in the bell pepper and then the melted butter. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add these dry ingredients to the pepper mixture. Fold in the dried cranberries.

2. Grease or line 6 muffin cups. Use a spoon to distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups, filling the cups up completely.

3. Bake on the middle rack until muffins are golden brown, and the top of the muffins bounce back when you press on them, about 25 to 30 minutes. Set on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin let cool another 20 minutes.
