Muffins are often served as a breakfast time treat, but I like them any time of day or evening. Slightly moist and crumbly, muffins are my kind of comfort food. These spiced pumpkin muffins are rich, golden orange nuggets of pumpkin goodness. Flavorings like nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice remind us of harvest time. These spiced gems are further enhanced with orange juice and zest and bright red dried cranberries.
Kids and adults love these. As the holidays arrive, I’ll serve these with a mug of hot spiced apple cider or tea when friends drop by for a visit. Remember that these muffins freeze beautifully, so you can have them at a moment’s notice. Just remember to defrost them. You can reheat them in a 350-degree-F oven for 5 to 7 minutes. These would be great to serve during the Thanksgiving holidays when you have a group stopping by.
