Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Beat pumpkin puree, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla in another large mixing bowl until well combined. Gradually beat in flour mixture, then stir in dried cranberries until incorporated. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 3/4 full with batter.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before turning muffins out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
