Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins with Cranberries & Walnuts

Ingredients:

2 1/2 C. whole wheat flour
2 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 C. pumpkin puree (I use canned)
2 T. oil
3/4 C. honey
2 eggs
2/3 C. buttermilk
1 t. vanilla
1/2 C. sweetened dried cranberries (like Craisins)
1/2 C. chopped walnuts

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a standard size 12 cup muffin tin (I use cooking spray).

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice; set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin, oil, honey, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir together until just combined. Fold in the cranberries and walnuts.

Divide batter evenly between 12 standard sized muffin cups. Bake 20-23 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven. Muffins are done when they spring back lightly to the touch or when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
