• Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins

  This is a recipe from Kirbie's Cravings.

  In searching for new pumpkin recipes to try, I came across a pumpkin muffin recipe from Cooking with my Kid, declaring it the “best ever pumpkin muffins.” So of course, I had to check out the recipe.

  This recipe calls for a lot more pumpkin puree than the other pumpkin muffin recipes I’ve tried. These were tasty, but they are definitely more dense, moist and pumpkin-y compared to other recipes.

  
  
  As a result, my muffins also didn’t puff up much. They puffed up initially, but then sank back down because of all the moisture.
  

   

   

  

  I enjoyed the taste and I would make these again. They remind me of the sweet potato muffins I’ve made before.
