Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Muffins
Muffin quest continues.
I had some leftover pumpkin from my Thanksgiving baking with my friend Diane. We made Joy the Baker's Vegan Pumpkin Bread. I forgot to photograph it, but believe me that is was tasty.

I never used to bother about baking anything pumpkin (I'm not really fond of the pie) but ever since my husband's client's wife baked us a pumpkin cake / bread, I'm sold! This looks very yummy, esp with the cranberry in there.
These are the perfect Fall muffin. I love all the flavors...yum!
Mary, is there a special way to format recipes to be printable? That's a nice feature!
I love this combination of flavors. I recently made a pumpkin bread with cranberries. Delish! Your muffins are gorgeous - great pics as always :)
Jami,
I am using Google Sites! It is cool. I saw it on Esi’s Dishing up Delights and followed suit. You already have an “account” connected to any gmail/blogger account.
Be logged into gmail, and go to: http://sites.google.com/ (I go to my gmail account and click on “more” and click on “sites”)
Then you can create little web pages. It is like creating things on a Wiki. If you are doing recipes, make sure you make the site “public”
You create a “name” for each page and it creates a unique webpage. You can make links within the page. Very easy to use.
Then, you create a link in your blog post that links to the Google Site entry!
If you have any questions, send me an email. – mary
Your pictures are always amazing! The crystallized ginger sounds super yummy. I like all your backgrounds, but where are they and do you always have natural light?
Alexis,
These were taken inside with the Lowel Ego lights. (Here is a link to the set I purchased from Amazon (Lowell E1-92 Ego Two Light Set) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GWKYO4/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0009K50RO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=17AXQS6ZTY4WAPQHHBJY)
I'm very unoriginal...when you see a faded out green tree in the background, those were taken on my front porch! If it has a solid color background, those are probably taken indoor with the Lowel lights and construction paper in the background. - mary
OoO these look purdy and delicious. I'm lucky enough to still have some Libby's canned pumpkin stashed away so I may just have to whip some up myself. I recently learned how to do printable recipes, too!
I need to get the leftover pumpkin out of my fridge and do something with it.
Can you do a month of muffins everyday? hehe jk
I love muffins that turn out so darned muffin-like! The cracking on top, a slight dome - perfection! And the seasonal flavors don't hurt :)
wow che meraviglia!
Great looking muffin! I love fresh cranberries in baked goods, so your proposed version sounds even better!!
I think I am going to make these as soon as possible. I am going to try them with fresh cranberries and crystallized ginger and maybe some applesauce. Great looking muffins!
Sounds delicious. I'm always looking for new pumpkin recipes.
Those muffins look perfect!
I would never had thought of combining the two, but it clearly works. I may give these a go, esp as I have some fresh cranberries and some of my own baby squash/pumpkins still to use. Thank you for sharing and I wish you well for the New Year.
made these last night, and they are delicious. thanks for posting such a great recipe!
