Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 200 degrees Celsius. To prevent the muffin tin from sticking, line it with paper liners that fit snugly in each of the 12 cups.
2
Mix together a blend of dry ingredients, including flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
3
In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until a smooth consistency is achieved. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients mixture into this wet mixture, then fold in dried cranberries until they are fully incorporated.
4
Fill the prepared muffin tin cups about 3/4 full with the batter, leaving a small space at the top for even baking.
5
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, taking around 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to rest for a short period before transferring them to a wire rack.
6
Serve the warm muffins or let them cool at room temperature before serving.
