It’s mid-October, which means it's time for pumpkin-flavored stuff, especially these Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins. And eat as many as you like! Pumpkin is packed full of essential nutrients we need to stay healthy. It contains vitamin A, which keeps your eyesight sharp. Plus, the pumpkin is loaded with fiber, which helps you feel full longer on fewer calories. It also boasts a healthy dose of the cancer-fighting antioxidant, beta-carotene, and contains more potassium per serving than a banana. Mind blown? Mine, too.
