Quick Pumpkin Muffins
These muffins are so quick and easy to make. The recipe is very versatile so feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips. You can also use applesauce in place of the vegetable oil if you’d like. I don’t like to fuss with mixing the dry ingredients together before adding them but I am careful to not over mix the batter in order to avoid making muffins that are dense like hockey pucks.
