Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins
Archived on 11/20/2009
This recipe was shared with me by a parent while I was teaching. She told me this was the way she had gotten her children to not only eat pumpkin but to also eat breakfast. The next day she showed up with the muffins for our family. It worked for my son. Now he makes them at least once each fall and eats other pumpkin dishes. The ingredients stay in our pantry. I have put them in Christmas gift baskets and taken them to parties. Every time, without fail, I am ask to share this recipe.
