Pumpkin Muffins, A Simple Recipe

September 16, 2016

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ahhhh.  Fall is in the air folks.  Can you smell it?  Even before fall officially begins, I feel like I can smell it in the air.  The leaves are falling, the breeze is cooler and all things pumpkin are calling to me.  I know I’m not alone in my love for the fall season.  The cooler weather, the beginning of the holiday season, mums and decorations abound.  Fall just evokes the holiday spirit in me and it starts with pumpkins.  I loooove pumpkin flavored everything.  Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin beer (Great Pumpkin Ale from Elysian Brewing is the best ever), pumpkin doughnuts and pumpkin muffins.

As much as I always say that each muffin is a family favorite, these pumpkin muffins are the only muffins that Little A has eating almost every single one of herself.  Every morning she asks for a pumpkin muffin for breakfast.  That never happens.  Usually by muffin 3 or 4 she’s had enough.  But not these.  She’s going on pumpkin muffin #8 I believe.  Girl after my own heart!

I knew I’d do a pumpkin muffin recipe this year because it just makes sense.  Fall = pumpkin season. But I struggled to come up with a recipe that I was in love with.  So I took a recipe that I knew I’d love and made it my own.  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right?

These pumpkin muffins are quick to put together, aren't overly sweet and evoke all that is fall.

These pumpkin muffins are seriously fall perfection.  The recipe is simple, they bake up perfectly and they have just the right amount of sweetness for a great breakfast muffin.

Enjoy!

    Do you have the ‘scratch & sniff’ app installed on your blog? How about the ‘print & eat’ app?

    You read my mind (and my belly!). I’ve been on the hunt for a great pumpkin recipe, and I went to Target and literally bought all the pumpkin they had. When that stuff hits the shelves, it’s always gone so quickly – I’m making these tomorrow. Maybe even tonight.

    Well… It’s still 98 and humid, green as heck with lots of flowers, and the air smells dank because it’s remained so humid this year… BUT, you know I love me some fall, weather be damned! These look pretty easy to put together and I love all things pumpkin. Plus, it’s so healthy for you!

    Those look so good! I’m part of the pumpkin everything club! I can’t get enough!

    I have never made anything with pumpkin–can you believe that! But I have to try these muffins! B won’t eat them (she doesn’t like bread–I don’t know whose child she is!) but Jack will gobble these up!!
