During the holiday I am pretty much a pumpkin fanatic. I will bake everything and anything pumpkin. So I knew my next challenge would be mastering the perfect Pumpkin Cranberry Muffin, after many trials and errors I got it! No fancy ingredients keeping it really simple, totally in love with this in the morning and a cup of coffee.

Would a blender work as well?
A blender can work, I prefer a food processor because its hard to get everything out of the bottom on the blender. But I don’t see why not! hope you enjoy them super simple to make!
