Tips:
Since we’re two weeks away from Halloween and it’s pumpkin season, today I’m presenting you with a muffin recipe with the taste of pumpkin spice.
This spice blend, which is used at Starbucks, has become so ubiquitous that its use in any beverage or dish evokes autumn.
By adding apples, another seasonal product, we’re also being more environmentally friendly.
This muffin is rich in spices; you can even use a larger dose if you like the taste of pumpkin spice. If you’re not a big fan of cinnamon, you can use another similar spice, or only use pumpkin spice.
The pumpkin puree will give the cakes an orange color, making them perfect sweet treats for an October 31st evening.
In any case, I can tell you that the 10 muffins that were brought disappeared in just a few minutes!
