Foods As soon as September 1st rolls around, my cravings for pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin lattes, and pumpkin bread begin. To be fair, I do try to curb the cravings until Starbucks rolls out their Pumpkin Spice Lattes. So, since the lattes are out in full force and grocery stores are selling crazy pumpkin concoctions (Pumpkin Spice Pringles? Really?), I figured it was time for a little bit of pumpkin baking.

I normally make pumpkin bread, but since I would be the only one eating it in my house, I decided that muffins would be a better choice (ie: I would have immediate serving sizes and I wouldn’t be tempted to eat the whole loaf in one sitting!). Then, I got really crazy and decided to add cranberries to the mix. It will taste perfectly scrumptious without the cranberries, but I love the zing they give the muffins.
Also, if you can’t find fresh cranberries, you can use dried cranberries. It’s not completely the same, but it satisfies the craving until you can find fresh! Be sure to look for dried cranberries without added sugar, if you can.
