Pumpkin, Cranberry, and Pecan Muffins

Pumpkin, Cranberry, and Pecan Muffins

We were having friends over for a play date after school so my son and I made these muffins for an afternoon snack. This Betty Crocker recipe was extremely simple to make and made the tastiest muffins. They were light and fluffy and full of great textures and flavors. I loved the spicy cinnamon with the tart cranberries and crunchy pecans. These muffins were a huge hit with all of us but one who didn’t like cranberries or pecans. Oh well, you can’t win them all.
