Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

• Topping
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Muffin batter
• 1 cup cooked pumpkin puree
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 11/2 cups unbleached white flour

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Oil the muffin tin or line it with paper cups.

4. Coarsely chop the cranberries and walnuts by hand or in a food processor.
5. Add the brown sugar, ginger, and cinnamon; mix well and set aside.

7. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
