Pumpkin Muffins
Well he we are again, when will the goverment start making 3 day weekends mandatory? Another Sunday….Monday poking at me in the face! IRRITATING ME with it’s impending doom.
I hate it! HA
Something I do not hate, all the wonderful little pumpkin patches popping up - Halloween Candy and hot humid weather….yeah scratch that! What is up with the freakish weather here in so cal - total party foul.
Delightfully borrowed this recipe from the little lady at SMITTEN KITCHEN
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin (from a 15 ounce can)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Royal Icing & Sprinkles…if you are really feeling it
DIRECTIONS
Whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, 1 1/4 cups sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in flour mixture until just combined. Stir together cinnamon and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in another bowl.
Divide batter among muffin cups (each should be about three-fourths full) buttered and floured, or use paper liners, then sprinkle tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake until wooden pick or skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Next I drizzled Royal Icing in a spiral and sprinkled with sprinkles, adorable!

Oh, yes... adorable and delicious looking pumpkin muffins!
I totally agree...If I could only work 4 days a week life would be near perfect...I love the way you decorated these.
I have a small obsession with pumpkin baked goods... I am loving these! The swirl around the top looks gorgeous. And cute joke! :)

I vote for three day weekends! Monday mornings come too soon for me. Love your cute muffins!
I love pumpkin anything :) Your muffins sound delicious and are decorated beautifully!
These make Monday seem more bearable. I agree with you on that issue completely. I even work from home now for the most part and it's still a buzz killer. Hope the weather improves in your area soon!
I'm all about three day weekends too! I can't believe it is already Monday. I need one of these pumpkin muffins to help me start the week...they sound so very good, and they look fabulous with the orange swirls and sprinkles. Thanks for sharing, love!
Love the icing, so vibrant! Never tried pumpkin muffins before, something to rectify asap.
I think we all suffer from the Monday blues. However, I bet one of these gorgeously decorated pumpkin muffins would put a smile on anyone's face come Monday am :)
Really gorgeous, sounds delicious, can I have some please?
