How to Make Fruity Vanilla Pumpkin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup vanilla chips, and 1 tablespoon nonpareils.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining nonpareils evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
