Pumpkins

 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all things pumpkin this time of year!

 Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin crisp, pumpkin cookies...

okay-okay...so you get the point;) 

 And I cannot tell you how excited I was to see our local SAM's club carrying canned pumpkin in bulk this year. 

I stock up every time I go;)

  Needless to say, we've been doing a lot of pumpkin baking at this house. 

I definitely have my very favorite pumpkin recipes that are my"go too" year after year. They've been tweaked, tested,  and kid-approved!

 This chocolate chip pumpkin muffin recipe is one of them.

These muffins are so moist, so delicious, and the kids devour them like it's the last thing they will ever eat. 

{I also like that you can substitute whole wheat flour for the white without sacrificing ANY of the taste. That makes them kind-of healthy, right;)}

And speaking of healthy, HA...

I've also had fun this fall finding a few new pumpkin recipes to try. The big boys had the day off of school on Monday, so for breakfast we decided to give this recipe a whirl.

We made Pumpkin French Toast!

 {The only "tweaking" I did to this one was to add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the egg mixture.}

This was definitely a hit and one we will make again and again! 

Next up for us to try this week are these...Pumpkin Doughnuts

Can you say..."ooo-la-la"?!?!

I'll let you know how they turn out.

"Happy FALL Baking" from our family to yours;)
