An Incredible Thanksgiving Smell


When you think of Thanksgiving, most of you think turkey or stuffing, not me! My kitchen smells incredible. The reason for this is my new Thanksgiving staple, Pumpkin Muffins. These are seriously the easiest dessert that you could make. All you have to do is mix five ingredients together, put it in muffins tins and bake for 20 minutes; so simple to make something so irresistible.
What You Need:
Mixing Bowl
Spoon, whisk or spatula (I actually end up using all three by the end)
A sifter
1 box Yellow Cake mix
1 15 oz can Pumpkin Puree
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
½ tsp Ground Nutmeg
¼ tsp Ground Cloves

Sifting the cake mix into the bowl is optional and my original directions did not include this step, the mix just seems to come out so much better after you sift the cake mix.  Pour the pumpkin into the cake mix and stir until combined well. When you have blended them together well, add in all the spices and stir until they are incorporated. Prepare the muffin tins. I normally use the mini tins that bake twenty four at a time, but the large ones will work too. I line the tins with paper liners and use a cookie scoop to fills the liners. Using a teaspoon would work well for a job, but I found my cookie scoop is the perfect tool.



Bake the muffins in a 350 degree oven for twenty to twenty five minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Just look at the picture! How can you resist?!
(Seriously irresistible; they've been out of the oven for 20 minutes and I've eaten 7 already!)

Enjoy!
