My daughter Liz shared this recipe with me a few days back. I have not tried it, but can already tell it’s going to be good. Pumpkin adds such a great flavor and I’m sure this is a perfect “fall” muffin.
I am including the recipe below. I feel certain I’ll be baking this up in the next day or two. I have a fresh pumpkin on my kitchen table ready to be called into service for this purpose. I just need a little extra time to bake and taste-test this recipe.
Still, I thought those of you who are eager for a taste of autumn might appreciate having this recipe at your fingertips. Please let me know what you think if you make it.
I am so glad we have the promise of cooler weather. It was still hot today, but I believe relief is in sight. I am ready for that and so are my sinuses. This hot dry weather is making me – and a lot of other people – pretty miserable with sinus/allergies problems.
Here’s to fall!
