Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line 12 muffin tins with paper liners or spray them with non-stick baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and baking powder and combine.
- In a separate bowl, add the milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk together well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir gently just until there are no longer flour lumps. Be very careful not to over-mix or the muffins will become dry and dense.
- Add in the dried cranberries and gently stir them in.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, the batter into each muffin tin hole about ¾ full.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the tin and place them on a wire cooling rack to cool
Notes
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Add a ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.
- Use any kind of milk you prefer or a non-dairy milk like almond milk, oat milk or soy milk. You can even use for buttermilk.
- Swap the light brown sugar with granulated sugar or dark brown sugar.
- Use vegetable oil or canola oil instead of butter.
- Swap the oil for an equal amount of plain yogurt or unsweetened applesauce for a lower calorie healthy muffin.
- Use gluten free one-to-one flour like Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten free flour.
- Top with pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans or walnuts.
- I don’t recommend using fresh cranberries in this recipe.
- Be careful to not add too much flour. Spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level off with the flat side of a butter knife.
- Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
