Fall is in the air so let’s bake. When The air starts to feel crisper and you can smell fall ( you know that clean, cold smell. That has a hint of leaves and fireplace). That is the perfect time to start thinking about all the fall baking you can do. There are so many delicious fall recipes. Apple cakes using maple and brown sugar. Appel crisps toasty and warm right out of the oven as they bubble and give off cinnamon and ginger smells. Pumpkin pie with its creamy texture and flaky crust.

One of my favorite super easy and tasty thing to make is pumpkin, maple, dried cranberry muffins, or bread. You can make both from the same recipe. I love the pumpkin, maple, and ginger smell that waft from the oven as it is baking. These muffins are great for a breakfast treat, mid-day snack, or on-the-go filer up. They are perfect for grabbing and going. These muffins are delicious heated with a smidge of butter. You could even make some homemade maple butter. If you are making these for your children you could even sneak in some veggies in the recipe. Always a good way to fortify your kids.
One other great thing about this recipe is you can do substitutions. You can substitute apple sauce for eggs, use gluten-free flour. Use more maple syrup and less brown sugar if you are trying to use less processed sugars. There are other items you can add to this recipe.
If you like nuts you could add them in. In addition to cranberries, you can add raisins. Chocolate chips would be super tasty in it. oh, I could go on for hours with different ways to make them. I will stop here and start sharing the recipe. One quick note I saved half the batter to make more in a few days. Cover the bowl and stick it in the fridge. Ok here is the recipe I hope you enjoy it.
