For a richer flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the wet ingredients. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits like raisins or chopped dates for the cranberries. Add a handful of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) to the batter for added texture and flavor. For a vegan option, replace the honey with maple syrup and the egg whites with a flax egg.
