“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion" -Henry David Thoreau

had a BUNCH of pumpkin puree left from when i made the ravioli. wasn't really ready to make more ravioli, so i made some pumpkin, cranberry, walnut muffins.

every recipe that i could find called for either brown sugar or molasses, which there was neither of, in our house,so i searched and searched and finally found one that called for neither. but it didn't seem altogether right,so i altered it,very slightly.

2 C flour (1 C w wheat, 1C white)
1/2 C sugar
1 T baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
15 oz. pumpkin puree(yes, our measuring cups have ounce measurements and i forgot to look at what that equated to...)
1/2 C cranberry (i would recommend cutting each cranberry in half)
1/2 C walnuts(smashed)

they are pleasantly not too sweet,but fruity and pumpkin-y. had one then w/soup and it was perfection. just had one w/coffee and it was just as good.
