Pumpkin Muffins

The story behind the recipe:
You'll find this recipe anywhere. Why do I love it? Because my freshman year of college, my suite mate came home from visiting her family in Knoxville and brought back with her a bag of the most delicious pumpkin muffins I've ever had. We sat in her room on a Sunday afternoon, football playing in the background, leaves changing on the trees outside the window, and I had my first taste of a Southern autumn. It will always remain one of my favorite fall memories.

Tips & Tricks for Making:
This is the easiest recipe ever. I promise. Spice cake mix + pumpkin puree. You can customize them in many ways:

  • Make as mini muffins or regular

  • Add cinnamon chips, pumpkin spice chips, butterscotch chips, or maple chips for a little extra delight

  • Make with yellow cake mix if you want something less..."spicy" - but why? Tis the season for pumpkin spice!
