There’s just something about grabbing a pumpkin muffin or slice of pumpkin bread from a coffee shop – especially at the beginning of fall! And as a Thanksgiving baby, I definitely have a soft spot for all things pumpkin. I mean hey, when most of your birthday cakes were actually pumpkin pies, that’ll do it!
For all my fall babies and for everybody else who loves everything about this time of year, here’s a great recipe you’ll want to try and make a batch of pumpkin muffins.
Not only because of the great pumpkin flavors, but also because these babies have a lot less sugar and fat than your typical coffee shop muffin or bread. Instead of butter, I substitute greek yogurt and get moist, spongy muffins, so you get all that you’re craving but with less guilt.
This recipe can be done as muffins or as bread, last week I made the bread version 🙂 I find that muffins are easier to grab and go, these are perfect to take in the morning for breakfast.
