If I had named these muffins I would have simply called them Harvest Muffins.  A dense yet moist muffin made with the season’s best ingredients and warm flavorings. The base of these muffins are ground oats and whole wheat flour along with a hearty combination of grated butternut squash, grated apple, pecans and dried cranberries.  The warm flavorings come from maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice; and the moist texture, from large eggs, canola oil and Greek yogurt.  If you are a fan of fruitcake and spice cake, these cold weather muffins are right up your alley!
