What Makes These Muffins Extra Delicious?

Pumpkin, cinnamon chips, and cranberries all combine to create this muffin, good enough to serve for a Fall brunch. If cranberries aren’t for you, substitute chopped dates for the dried cranberries. Either way, I bet you won’t be able to eat just one.

If you aren’t a morning person, make them the night before and warm them up in the microwave for 10 -12 seconds.
