Tips:

  1. 1. If you make pumpkin juice at home, you should use fresh pumpkins. Cut the squash into pieces and bake it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is soft. Then mix with a blender or blender. You can also use pumpkin from a can, but leave out the pumpkin filling. 
  2. 2. If you use fresh cranberries, make sure to rinse them first and pick out any that are bad or not fully ripe. If you want to use frozen cranberries, you'll need to let them thaw first. 
  3. 3. Make sure all the other ingredients are well mixed before adding the eggs. This will make sure that the muffins have a more even structure. 
  4. 4. Coat the pans with coconut oil before you put the batter in them so the muffins don't stick.

  6. 6. Don't take the muffins out of the pans until they're totally cool. If you hurry to take the muffins out, they might break or change shape.
