Delicious Pumpkin Muffins

When pumpkin season rolls around, you will want to dust off this recipe and make pumpkin muffins. They are delicious and easy to make.  Adding the pumpkin seeds on top is optional, but well worth it.

You can use pumpkin from a can or if you have canned your own pumpkin or baked a pumpkin, that works well too.  The color of the muffins may may vary depending on which you use.

What Ingredients are Needed?

• flour
• baking powder
• pumpkin pie spice
• egg
• sugar
• softened butter
• pumpkin puree
• salted pumpkin seeds (and more to sprinkle on muffins)
• mini chocolate chips (optional)

Can I Use Canned Pumpkin Puree?

Yes. You can use canned or baked pumpkin puree. If you have canned your own pumpkin or have frozen pumpkin, you can also measure and use this for your muffins.

Can I Freeze Muffins?

After baking the muffins, allow them to cool completely. You can then place into a freezer save bag or freezer container. Make sure the label and date them, so you know what flavor they are.

How Can I Change The Flavors?

You can add chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, white chocolate chips to the batter. Pop the muffins in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and enjoy them served warm.
