Cranberry Walnut Pumpkin Muffins!

Fall is setting in. All the leaves outside are turning. So that means time for pumpkin everything! I made some cranberry walnut muffins this morning. I based this recipe off of a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe I found.

They turned out really nice, very fluffy with a good spice to them. Next time, I may decide to up the walnuts. I've got a bunch of pumpkin puree left, so more pumpkin-y recipes to come!
