Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease baking sheets.
- Combine flour, starches, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add pumpkin and vanilla extract and mix well. Add flour mixture and mix well. Stir in oats and cranberries.
