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.

These muffin cups are so much fun to use. They hold the dough and make the muffins look so festive.

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.

These pumpkin muffins are so delicious. I always use the two bowl method when I make muffins.

Fill each baking cup individually.

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!

These pumpkin cranberry muffins are really easy to make. I love that they taste as if they were much harder to make.

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!

  1. 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.
