All the flavors of fall wrapped up in a perfect melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin muffin! They’re easy to make and delicious served with warm cider, a cup of hot cocoa or of course a classic cold glass of milk!
If you are like me when fall rolls around you are adding pumpkin to just about every treat out there. And of course, breakfast is no exception.
Pumpkin Pancakes and Pumpkin French Toast, and Pumpkin Scones are a fall necessities (lol, yes necessities ????, and I’m thinking we ought to add these Pumpkin Muffins to that list too.
