Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
2 Combine milk and vinegar in a small bowl until evenly blended. Set aside. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, baking soda, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
3 Whisk pumpkin, brown sugar, white sugar, vegetable oil, and egg together in a separate bowl; stir in milk mixture until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until just combined: fold in fresh and dried cranberries.
4 Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
