Healthy Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

Before we turn over in to a world of candy-canes, chocolate, and peppermint, I have just one more pumpkin recipe for you….

Lately I’ve been attending a local coffee shop near my apartment that has the BEST gluten-free and vegan cranberry pumpkin muffins. I’ve made it my little routine to grab my laptop and head over there for an afternoon snack during the week. The amount I’ve consumed at this point is way more than I can count, but completely worth it.

I had a little pumpkin puree left in my fridge from a recently opened can and thought what better way to use it than re-create the infamous coffee shop muffin at home? (Pumpkin muffins on repeat).

These muffins are not vegan or gluten free.. but the pumpkin, maple syrup, cranberries, and spices in this recipe are all reminiscent of the coffee shop version, and possibly a tad healthier. The whole wheat pastry flour in the recipe makes the texture extra fluffy, then there’s bits of crunch from the cranberries and pumpkin seeds. I love when a muffin has a little crunch such as nuts, crumb topping, or fruit. I’ve really found that those little ingredients make all the difference in the overall texture.

Another great characteristic with these muffins is that they can be made all in one bowl in less than 30 minutes (love those recipes!) So don’t throw that pumpkin away yet and add these muffins to your Thanksgiving breakfast menu. They’re perfect for make ahead.

Notes
