The holidays are upon us and my taste buds can’t wait! In fact, this year, I am planning on allowing my taste buds to savor whatever they want. Like these Easy Pumpkin Muffins. Which my children are devouring. Which means they are really, really good!
Every holiday season tells a story in my house. This year, with the kids here for Christmas week, the story will be much richer. I love to take the week off – at least as much as I can – pull out all of my baking trays and cake pans and create with the kids. We over make absolutely everything and can’t possibly eat it all. So we package it up and take it to the neighbors houses, which just adds another element of happy to the season!
This year, these Easy Pumpkin Muffins are in the list of MUST MAKE! Not only are they super easy to make – mix dry with wet ingredients and bake – but the unmistakable flavor of the holidays is infused into every bite. They would not taste as good, though, without high quality all purpose flour.
Another must have staple in this house are hoagie buns. While they are not incorporated in the Pumpkin Muffins recipe, they are awesome for quick sandwiches during the holiday season. You can also bake them and then top with them butter, cinnamon and honey for a crunchy sweet treat any time you want!
Now that you are salivating, lets talk this Easy Pumpkin Muffins Recipe!
