Pumpkin Muffins!
Autumn Time wouldn't be complete without making up a few batches of Pumpkin Muffins!
SO yummy and if you like the Pumpkin Bread that you can get a Great Harvest, these are the closest thing I have been able to make that resemble that yummy bread.

I'm always AMAZED at how far one large squash will stretch...
We ate it for dinner 2 times, shared a large chunk with Tracy's parents,
made up 4 batches of Pumpkin Cookies, 2 batches of Pumpkin Muffins
a batch of Pumpkin Pull Apart bread and a batch of Pumpkin Pie Bars.
I bake my muffins in TEXAS sized muffin tins so they are larger and feel a little more "Gourmet"
I usually make up a batch of muffins and put them in Cellophane Bags tied with festive ribbon and deliver these to the ladies I go Visiting Teaching to in one of the Autumn Months.
I also have a tradition of making these up along with Spiced Cider for
Halloween Morning breakfast and you can guarantee they will be embellished with a SPIDER ring in the middle of the muffin.

Kids just LOVE this!
These freeze well and if you have any leftovers, they are wonderful to freeze and have to pull out when you need a quick lunch, snack, or yummy treat!

After pulling out of the oven, I always put them in a Rubber-Maid type of container to keep them moist).
These are really good and freeze well and are great for breakfast, lunch or snacks!
Enjoy!
