Pumpkin Muffins

BOO!!




We had a wee afternoon Hallowe'en Party,
this sweet little unicorn and I!!!
(She is the pumpkin of my eye).

While the darling magical creature napped,
we baked some pumpkin muffins
in case there are any goblins tonight.
(thankfully homemade treats are still acceptable here in the country!)






Taste test!


Pumpkin Muffins

4 Eggs
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Oil
1/2 Cup melted butter
1 ¾ Cups pumpkin
3 Cups all purpose Flour
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
½ Cup raisins
1/2 Cup Butterscotch chipits
Frost if you wish - I used a brown sugar icing this time.

Beat eggs; add sugar, oil, pumpkin and beat.  Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Stir in raisins and chipits.
Fill muffin tins and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
This makes 24 muffins.













Grammie, what a big nose you have!!!!













Twinkle, twinkle little love!

  1. Oh that little Unicorn is the sweetest thing and I can see why you are smitten. She is so cute! I think I might have just enough pumpkin to try your recipe! We are waiting here for our little trick or treaters to arrive...

  2. Well she doesn't look one bit scary. She's a dollbaby for sure. Did she like the pumpkin muffins? I remember getting popcorn balls and thinking that was the very best treat. I'm glad that times haven't changed so much that pumpkin muffins are banned for treats in the country.
