It has only been one day of "cold", fall weather, but that was enough for me to break out my sweatshirts and yoga pants. Or for some, ordering their pumpkin spice lattes and breaking out the UGGs.
I'm going homecoming dress shopping tomorrow with my mom so I think we will be getting our first Pumpkin Spice Lattes of the year from Starbucks.
I decided to jump on the pumpkin trend early on in the season and make pumpkin muffins.
I used Libby's pumpkin muffins recipe, here.
Ingredients:
3 c. flour
1 Tbs. + 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
**I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I used allspice. Allspice is really powerful so I used two teaspoons of it instead of one tablespoon and two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice**
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. sugar
1 15 oz. pumpkin puree can
4 eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. water
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with liners.
2) Combine flour, pumpkin spice or allspice, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
3) In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil and water. Slowly add the flour mixture to wet ingredients until well incorporated.
4) Spoon batter into muffin tins, 3/4 the way full
5) Bake for 25-30 minutes or until center is clean when stuck with a toothpick. Cool for 10 minutes.
I love fall so much, it is my favorite time of the year by far. I can not wait to start doing more fall blogs. If you try out the recipe, tell me what you thought of it.
Until next time,
Taylor xx
PS: Next week is my first newspaper layout week (the week before our paper is published) so it's going to be very stressful and I probably won't post as much.
