Cranberry-Blueberry Pumpkin Muffins (High Altitude)

This is based off of a recipe my mother found. I've added blueberries to the recipe and altered it for the high altitude I'm currently living at (~8,400').

A few things I would recommend:

1. Fresh blueberries - I found that if you start using frozen blueberries it messes with the cooking time. The inner part of the muffin takes longer to cook and the outer part of the muffin burns a bit.

2. Use small blueberries. If you use large ones they seem to sink to the bottom and clump. I like my blueberries to be more spread out instead of just making a mushy mess.

3. If you're baking these at lower altitude this recipe might work as it is or your might need to remove a few things such as 1/4 - 1/2 c. of four and maybe an egg.

4. The pumpkin puree can either be from a can, fresh roasted pumpkin, or even pumpkin you've roasted and then boiled into a beer. As long as it's pumpkin, cooked, and pureed it should be fine.

These look great! A good way to keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom is to coat them in a little flour before you mix them in. :)
