Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Muffins

I surprised my kids today by making them these muffins for their after-school snack. I found this recipe on The Kitchen Paper and it looked amazing. I adapted the recipe just a bit by adding some whole wheat flour as well as some vanilla, and a little less sugar to the batter. The muffins smelled fantastic while they baked and my house smelled wonderful all afternoon long. Needless to say, my kids were thrilled with these delicious muffins and thought I was pretty cool for making them. If only they thought I was cool when I tell them it’s time for homework.

  1. Pumpkin muffins with cinnamon added sound wonderful.
    And re: homework? I had to take Mark for his flu shot yesterday, and told him to bring his homework books to fill the time, and he was less than amused.
