12 servings

  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup turbinado (raw) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado (raw) sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, or as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Place dried cranberries in a bowl with hot water to cover. Let stand to rehydrate, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk egg whites together in a separate bowl. Gently fold in pumpkin puree, applesauce, honey, molasses, and vanilla extract.
  • Create a well in the flour mixture and fold in pumpkin mixture. Mix until just combined. Drain water from cranberries and fold into the batter.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost full. Top each muffin with additional cranberries, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dash of pumpkin spice.
  • Bake muffins in the preheated oven until tops are no longer sticky and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
