It’s no secret that I make a lot of muffins.   I like to make them because they are good for an on the go breakfast, as a snack, or even as a healthier dessert.  I like combining different fruits and sometimes nuts to give the muffins a punch of flavor.  One of my favorite things about muffins is a tasty crumble topping.  Yum!

Try a Pumpkin Cranberry Muffin with Oat Topping for breakfast or a snack!

Since it’s fall I’ve been thinking pumpkin.  I made cream cheese swirled pumpkin muffins and I made pumpkin crunch muffins so now I was looking for a pumpkin muffin with fruit in it.   This is where I had trouble.  I wasn’t quite sure what fruits went with pumpkin.  After going through several recipes I thought that cranberries sounded the best with the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Week

The base of the muffins is a classic muffin.   Then I added in pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.   The last thing I put in were the dried cranberries.   After pouring them into the muffin cups I mixed up a tasty crumble with oats, pumpkin pie spice, and pecans and sprinkled it on top.

Love these Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

These muffins baked up nice and tall and smelled amazing from all the spices.   The sweet and tart cranberries were delicious with the pumpkin and the sweet crumble on top was awesome.  These muffins smell and taste like fall.
