pumpkin muffins

In celebration of fall, I decided to make pumpkin muffins.

Or, if we're being honest - I wanted to stuff my face with pumpkin muffins, so I made this recipe from my Katie Lee Joel cookbook (thanks, Dolly!).

As a non-baker, I found this recipe to be fairly simple. You should try it, but be sure you have a pair of elastic waisted pants handy. Trust me.

Here is what you need ...

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda 

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp salt

2 cups sugar

½ cup canola oil

2 large eggs - lightly beaten

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

Here is what you do...

Preheat your oven to 350 and grease a 12-cup muffin tin

In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt

In another bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla

Then add the pumpkin puree and mix well

Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Pour the batter into the muffin tin

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean... mine took closer to 30 minutes

 Let the muffins cool for a bit and then take them out

Enjoy!

These are soooo yummy. Seriously. You should make them.

Big hug!!
