Today is the 17th of August. That means it is almost September. Which means FALL is right around the corner! Right? Okay, fine! I am stretching it just a wee bit, but I am so ready for fall after all the HEAT we have had this summer!!
So when my friend, Di , mentioned making Pumpkin Muffins the other day I found myself wanting pumpkin. Before the Pumpkin Craze starts!!
And since Ellie has a pumpkin muffin recipe in The Foods You Crave I saw it as an omen!!
These muffins pack in all the flavor of pumpkin pie – nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger – without all the sugar (3/4 cup brown and 3/4 cup molasses) and without all the necessary whipped cream on top. {I think I can resolve THAT problem, but then they won’t be quite as healthy!!} AP and Whole Wheat flour add to the health-ful-ness of this tasty little muffin. {Only 205 calores/muffin and 7gm fat} 
After only 18 minutes I had some lovely little bites {13} for breakfast. Thanks, Ellie!
These muffins can be found on page 21 of TFYC
BTW I forgot to toss on the pumpkin seeds before baking so just pretend they are there!!

Oh, I knew Di’s little mention of the “pumpkin” word was going to set of that yearly pumpkin craze you all so love. Only second to that year around chocolate craze you all so love…lol! These look very nice and even prettier on that lacy plate.

mmm, I do love a good pumpkin muffin, and yours look yummy. Pumpkin is an all year round ingredient, isn’t it? I had pumpkin pancakes this morning!
