Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

OK, I've been on a pumpkin kick lately. I've also been on a non-blogging kick. I'm sorry about that. I truly am! Lots of life happening around here. We're still cooking, though, and have lots of yummy things to tell you about.

Here's what I did....I took our go-to oatmeal muffin recipe and turned it into a Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffin recipe. It's even better this way!! It's the kind of thing that makes me proud. So. Very. Proud.Since I'm so crazy for pumpkin, I took it a step further and enjoyed them with what I like to call my lazy, super skinny pumpkin pie spice latte (coffee + a little non-fat creamer + pumpkin pie spice. See, told you I was lazy). But man, was it good!

As always, my little whiner helped me make these...

Don't ask me why put pumpkin, especially pumpkin soup has really helped with my cranky stomach lately. It's helped to really settle it. I'll try it in muffin form to see if it has the same effect. Cheers,
