Edit
These Pumpkin Cranberry Pecan Muffin are the ultimate taste of fall- sweet with a burst of tart from the cranberries. They are a-mazing! I have made this recipe every fall for over a decade now, tweaking the original recipe, that I found in a cooking magazine, here and there. I can not tell you how many times I have had people say they are the best muffins they have ever had! Seriously, they are that good. They would be perfect for Thanksgiving breakfast! And since Thanksgiving is right around the corner I wanted to share it with you. I shared this recipe on the blog several years ago, but wanted to remind you how wonderful they are, and share with my new readers who might have missed it.
So, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy!
