  2. In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, flaxseed, cranberries, walnuts, water, oil and eggs just until blended (batter will be lumpy). Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 full).
  3. Bake 17 to 21 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back when touched. Cool 5 minutes; carefully remove from pan (if not using paper cups, run knife around edges of cups before removing). Cool completely before storing.
