I love fall for this reason....

Pumpkin, apples, squash...all the things I think of as comfort foods.

For this week's TWD challenge, Kelly of Sounding My Barbaric Gulp chose a recipe for pumpkin muffins. I was so HAPPY to get to dig in to this recipe....

This is one of the recipes I bought the book for.....It is a beloved recipe and is found a lot in food blogger land but I really needed to have it. I wanted to experiment and find the perfect combination for the holiday dinner table. I have to remember, these are MUFFINS, not biscuits so they are meant to be sweet.

I divided the sticky sweet dough into 4 sections and added my own special touches...

From L to R, I added 1/4 tsp of Rubbed sage topped with one walnut half, the middle 2 rows are 'close' to the original as I used craisins in lieu of golden raisins and toasted walnuts in the dough and on top - the far right row I added mini milk chocolate chips and topped with Halloween sprinkles.

I LOVED the sagey ones, they need some texture contrast, I think I'll actually use the raisins in this one. Hubby ate all of the chocolate ones as they were made for him - he loved them and asked for more. My absolute faves were the walnuts and craisins. I'll be using toasted pecans in our next batch too.

This was a warm sweet fall muffin. Another recipe that will get made again. Soon, before fall is over like summer is over...

Love you,

K
