PUMPKIN-ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin trays or line with paper liners.
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in prunes.
• Mix pumpkin, orange juice, milk, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Fold into flour mixture. Add melted butter and mix well.
• Divide batter between the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Remove muffins from the oven and place on wire racks to cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

PUMPKIN SPICE-CRANBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small microwave safe bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a small hole to vent. Microwave until the orange juice is warm, about 1 minute. Set aside to let the cranberries plump, about 5 minutes, then drain off the juice.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the butter, plumped cranberries, pumpkin puree, milk, eggs and orange zest in a large bowl. Add the flour-spice mixture to the pumpkin mixture and gently fold the batter together until it is just combined (it's ok if there are a few lumps).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the top of each muffin generously with the turbinado sugar. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
