A Warm & Cozy Autumn Breakfast

A Warm & Cozy

Autumn Breakfast  

Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins (Makes 24)

2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups white sugar
1 cup solid pack pumpkin
1/2 cup corn oil
2 tbsp. orange zest
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups cranberries, halved 


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin, corn oil, and orange zest in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl with a fork. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour pumpkin mixture into the well; stir until the dry mixture is just moistened into a batter. Fold cranberries into the batter.
  4. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.

 Pumpkin Spiced Latte (Makes 3 Servings)

 3 cups hot whole milk
4 tsp. white sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
6 oz. double-strength brewed coffee
3 tbsp. sweetened whipped cream
3 pinches pumpkin pie spice (garnish)



Combine the hot milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender; blend until frothy. Pour the mixture into 3 coffee mugs to about 2/3 full. Pour 2 ounces coffee into each mug. Garnish each mug with whipped topping and pumpkin pie spice.
