Pumpkin Muffins

It may be 90 degrees in Georgia but as soon as the calendar says September, it’s pumpkin time in my world! One of the first recipes I make each fall are these amazing bakery-style Pumpkin Muffins. Once you try them, you’ll see why!

Libby’s Pumpkin Muffins

I based this recipe off a combination of Libby’s Pumpkin Muffins and my own blueberry muffins recipe. I reduce the salt and sugar a bit in the Libbys pumpkin muffin recipe and added the crumble topping of my bakery-style blueberry muffins. The result is fantastic!

This recipe is very easy to pull together, which is all the more reason to try it as soon as you can!

A little over twenty minutes later you have the very best pumpkin muffins you’ll ever try. I promise!!
