I have no clever story to add, I’ll just say my 5 year old daughter declared she wants to eat these *every single day* in her lunchbox, except Wednesdays, which are pizza days. There are more proper ways to make them, and healthier, but these are easy and soooo delicious. You can do subs, like lowering the butter to 1/2 c or subbing coconut oil. If you lower the fat, also use a bit less flour, by about 1/4 cup. You can also lessen the sugar by 1/2 cup and they’ll still be yummy, but healthy isn’t my goal here. Deliciousness is.

Inhale-able Pumpkin Muffins

Makes 24

Ingredients

  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup butter, salted (or add 1 tsp salt)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

In a large bowl, melt the butter.

Add pumpkin purée and sugar, mixing well

Add eggs and mix well.

While mixing vigorously, add baking powder and baking soda. (To do this the proper way, you would sift it into the flour first. I have 3 small kids and little free time).

Add spices, mix well.

Lastly, add the flour and mix well with a wooden spoon.

In either an oiled muffin tin or baking cups, fill 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out (mostly) clean.

ENJOY!! Please let me know if you make these and enjoy them as much as we do.
