Aunt Mikie’s Pumpkin Muffins

Today we have another great recipe from my SIL Amy!  She’s always making the best stuff, so I hope you’ll enjoy her fun guest post on these award-winning pumpkin muffins!
  

Aunt
Mikie’s AWARD WINNING Pumpkin Muffins
I’m sure you have a
good recipe already….forget it!  These
will melt in your mouth with unbelievable texture and flavor!  You will thank me when YOU are famous for
these!


Yes, I know…….your grandma
makes the best pumpkin muffins/bread….EVER! 
Well, you haven’t tried Aunt Mikie’s pumpkin muffins!  Seriously.  I have tried everyone’s “famous” pumpkin….stuff.  Most pumpkin muffins, bread, bars . . . whatever….
taste about the same.  Maybe the spices
vary somewhat, but let’s be honest, really it’s all about the
same delicious….but still the same.  UNTIL NOW! 
I first heard about these
muffins almost 10 years ago when Aunt Michaeleen moved to town.  Her kids raved about her incredible pumpkin
muffins.  I thought, “That’s nice.”  I mean, really, how good can a mini muffin
be, right?
Then I had one.  No…. I had six.  The first time she made them for us, I was in
love.  Pumpkin love.  We dumped all other pumpkin recipes and make
ONLY these!  A total family
favorite.  We have to ration these out as
children have been known to steal away a couple dozen and stash them in undisclosed
locations.  These are ridiculously
fabulous!  Make them….you will devour
them!  Serious pumpkin paradise!  Enjoy!
Let’s get started:

Team players….

Mix wet ingredients together
until smooth.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Stir wet and dry ingredients
together until combined.  Don’t over-mix.

Scoop into greased mini
muffin pans….Or use cute little mini muffin papers…I don’t have any.  I’m sure they were all glue-gunned together
to create an amazing princess dress for one of the 100 dolls we have kicking
around our house…. 

Bake.  Cool and DEVOUR!  DELISH!
