Pumpkin Spice Muffins (recipe and picture)

I would like to share this recipe with you..I printed it off in Oct and it says..quick and easy Thanksgiving Pumpkin recipe..

It works  up quick and easy and taste really good..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

Pumpkin Spice Muffins Makes 12 regular or

6 Texas size..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Box of spice cake mix

1/2 cup of water

15 oz can solid pumpkin

1  1/2 teaspoon baking powder

optional -cupcake liner

I sprayed my pans..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Mix ingredients in a large bowl.

In not using cupcake liners,spray muffin tin with cooking spray or grease pan with shortening or butter.

Fill liners or muffin tins about 3/4 to the top or more..

Note I filled mine to the top

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Frosting the muffins is optional.. A cream cheese based frosting would be good..

Note I put choc chips in mine and sugared the tops before I put them in the oven.

Pumpkins

I made some pumpkins with my own twist.. Our pastor made a bunch of them and I thought they were so cute.. The only different is she used fabric and put more things around the stem.. I used..

Plastic tablecloth the real inexpensive ones I got them on mark down for .50 and could make six and had a small amount left over..

I used toilet paper Charmin mega roll..you really need the mega roll the get a full look..

then I took brown bag and rolled it up like a stem..

I wanted a very simple look...

From our home to yours..

Blessings..Brenda
