Hello Friends!

I could feel the temperature dropping this weekend here in Southern California. We were busy moving our son back to college, so when I got back home I wanted to bake something I could put together pretty quickly. I love to bake a little something on Sunday evenings as a last little celebration before the weekend is over. I decided on these simple pumpkin muffins. The cinnamon topping adds a tasty crunch.

timesaving tips to streamline recipes
  • Pre-measure the dry ingredients the night before and store in a covered bowl. I like to do this with muffin and bread recipes for easy preparation in the morning. Any sealed container will help with this, but I especially like these.
  • You can make mini muffins by filling a mini-muffin tin and baking them about â…“ of the time. This pretty much applies to most muffin recipes and makes a great time-saver.

You can use fresh pumpkin too if you steam it and blend it.  I love the way it
