Add these pumpkin spice muffins to your list! They include healthier options (like whole wheat flour) while still bringing that pumpkin spice flavor you love!
Happy October! Now we can happily eat all of the pumpkin stuff without breaking the “rules”. Why do we have to wait until Fall to eat pumpkin anyway? You can buy canned pumpkin year-round, so why do we have to wait until this time of year to make pumpkin-inspired food and drinks?
I say, if you love pumpkin, eat it whenever you want! You may also like Pumpkin Monkey Bread, Air Fryer Pumpkin Muffins (Just 2 Ingredients!), pumpkin dip, and instant pot pumpkin cheesecake.
I cheated this year and made Pumpkin Pancakes in early September. They were delicious. Even if it was 80 degrees in my house at 9 AM. I’m still waiting for it to cool down, but I’m throwing caution to the wind and embracing all things Fall. Including (but not limited to) these moist and spicy pumpkin muffins.
These muffins are definitely whole wheat flour friendly, but feel free to use whatever type of flour you prefer. The dark brown sugar in this recipe adds an extra layer of flavor that will leave you screaming for seconds.
