You and your family will love these muffins and they are a great way to start your day. A quick and easy to make, for a yummy grab-and-go breakfast. How easy are these?
My family loves muffins and I love creating new recipes that are healthy, tasty, and easy to make. This cranberry pumpkin muffin recipe is all three of those things! These muffins are moist and have a light brown sugar topping.
Today I have joined nineteen bloggers and we are all sharing fall pumpkin recipes. I know you will love these recipes so be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post. So many of them look amazing.
Baking Cups vs Cupcake Liners
I love using baking cups instead of muffin tins because I honestly think they create a much better presentation. I love to use baking cups rather than cupcake liners too. When you use these cups you just set them on a cookie sheet and fill them individually. Sometimes I eat the muffin with a fork out of the cup. If you use Tulip Cupcake Liners, pop those into a muffin pan so that they don’t tip over.

How to Make the Best Pumpkin Muffins
The recipe for the Cranberry Pumpkin muffins is very easy and it uses the two-bowl method. All you do is mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and then mix them together.
Fill each baking cup individually.
And top lightly with a small amount of brown sugar streusel topping.
I love how they turned out. They are moist and really good (even the next day!).
What kind of cranberries do you use in the pumpkin muffins?
The cranberries are almost a surprise. Depending on the time of year, you can use dried or fresh cranberries. I love cranberries so I always freeze fresh cranberries every year. But I typically run out in February. This year I have decided I am going to freeze at least ten packages of fresh cranberries. I love baking with fresh cranberries and I still never have enough. Plus the season for fresh cranberries is typically only three months!
How can you make healthy pumpkin muffins?
I used whole wheat flour in this recipe. It’s healthier and I love the taste. You can also leave off the streusel but I didn’t. It’s such a great topping and I love the sweet taste!

These sound so good and are pretty too. I can have wheat flour. Would coconut nut flour work? This would be a big hit in bundt cake or loaf pan in my house. I’m thinking loaf pan would be better.
