Description

These spiced pumpkin cranberry muffins are the perfect autumn treat, featuring a moist pumpkin base, warming fall spices, and tart, juicy cranberries.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups fresh or frozen cranberries


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all the spices until well combined.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 5: Gently fold in the cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top.
Step 7: Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the batter along with the cranberries.
