Sweet and Simple Pumpkin Muffins

Sweet and Simple Pumpkin MuffinsI’ve decided that I love muffins because they’re warm and tasty and portable.  Plus there are so many delicious varieties to keep life fresh and interesting.

These sweet, simple, spicy pumpkin muffins are wonderful.  They’re easy to make, and turn out gorgeous every time!  They work out great for breakfasts because you could bake some in the evening, and grab one on your way out the door the next morning.  Also, they freeze really well, so you can always have some on hand as a quick go-to when you don’t have time for anything else.Sweet and Simple Pumpkin Muffins
