Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups unbleached flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup milk; 1/3 cup vegetable oil; 1/2 cup canned pumpkin; 1 egg; 2 teaspoons orange zest (or 2 drops orange oil); 1/2 cup dried cherries (optional); 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

Servings: persons

2 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
2 teaspoons orange zest (or 2 drops orange oil)
1/2 cup dried cherries (optional)
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2
Liberally butter muffin tins without paper baking cup liners (or line 18 muffin tins with paper baking cups and spray with unflavored canola oil spray.) Omitting the paper liners and baking the muffin in buttered dark metal tins will give the muffins a nice crunchy crust!
3
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the first 7 ingredients.
4
In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients together. Add orange zest - if using orange oil be very sparing, two tiny drops goes a long way.
5
Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir by hand to until well mixed. Add nuts and berries.
6
Pour batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
7
Bake 20-25 minutes.
8
Serve with soft whipped cream cheese or your favorite cream cheese frosting. If it's your birthday top with a lit candle and make a wish!
