Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

This is why I LOVE when friends share recipes. You get recipes you know will turn out well, no tweaking required.  I’ve had this one for years, a friend shared it with me and it didn’t take long for me to try it out.  And it’s made appearances fairly often in our house since, especially in the fall.  These muffins are super moist and I love anything with dried cranberries.  I store dried cranberries in the freezer all our dried fruit, actually.  Along with all nuts and seeds.  They keep much longer.  One of my favorite snacks is dried cranberries straight from the freezer. (Try it, you’ll see what I mean!)  And make these muffins soon, it’s the perfect season to enjoy them!
