Since I am in the mood for confessions, I wanted to share another one with you. First of all, I love Miracle Whip. That has nothing to do with the confession I am about to make…I just wanted to clear the air with that first.

(Deb had some * next to the vegetable oil and sugar of some changes she discovered…of course, I didn’t notice that until AFTER I made the recipe. This is the recipe the way I used it and they turned out perfect! I did change and made them into mini muffins, which just required a baking time of approximately 9 minutes)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin (from a 15 ounce can)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Put oven in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Put liners in muffin cups.
Whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, 1 1/4 cups sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in flour mixture until just combined.
Stir together cinnamon and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in another bowl.
Divide batter among muffin cups (each should be about three-fourths full), then sprinkle tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake until puffed and golden brown and wooden pick or skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool in pan on a rack five minutes, then transfer muffins from pan to rack and cool to warm or room temperature.
MMMM those look YUMMY
So how did you know I bought an extra can of pumpkin puree at the store? Dang, now I need to make pumpkin muffins.
Super simple, easy and quick. What else could you want? Seriously – I would probably have just used the carrot cake mix, added the pumpkin and called it muffins
You’re such a good mommy!
I adore pumpkin muffins but love that these are bite sized!
I’ve been craving pumpkin and these look sooo good!
Well, I’m gonna go w/ the 2 point pumpkin muffins recommendation!!! Gotta lose this indulgent blogger poundage asap
I haven’t done any pumpkin baking this season! Eek, what’s wrong with me. I really wanted to comment about Miracle Whip though…made me think of when I was growing up and my little sister became obsessed with the stuff and decided she’d make a whole meal using Miracle Whip in each dish: fried chicken with miracle whip glaze, miracle whip potatoes, miracle whip glazed carrots. Ya, a little overkill but thought you might appreciate
what a great blog!
everything here looks so delicious!
have a nice time!

Way to go the extra mile at 10:00 at night! Seriously, you win major Mother of the Year points for that one. And the muffins look absolutely delectable.
Kristen, I made the three ingredient pumpkin muffins this morning! The boys have a teacher work day and are home and they requested them. They love them, and I love how easy they are. But I do break out the real recipe every once in awhile ! Have a great weekend! ~Liz

No way! We have the same name-thats so cool

Please advise.

Thank you so much for the ‘from scratch recipe’ , we just don’t get the spice cake boxes out here and this one is a Savior!!
