• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar

• 0.5 cups chopped dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the pumpkin mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix the batter.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped dried cranberries, nuts, and raisins.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
