Pumpkin Muffins {Small Batch}

Hey friends! Happy November!
We've been pretty lucky here in Virginia with the weather - it's been pretty warm for
this time of year, but that's all beginning to end this week. It's supposed to get down in
the 20's Thursday night - yikes!

I haven't been doing too much fall baking yet, besides our favorite pumpkin chocolate
chip cookies and pumpkin cheesecake bars, but I did take some time to bake a small
batch of pumpkin muffins with pepitas (pumpkin seeds) over the weekend. I don't have
a lot of freezer space, so small batches work best for us. I like to take them to work to
enjoy as a mid-morning snack, so six muffins work out perfectly.

I love getting ideas for new recipe combinations on Pinterest. Feel free to email
me your favorite muffin recipe! I'd love to try it!

Have a great week!
