Pumpkin Pie Muffin Bites
Who loves pumpkin pie?
I love pumpkin pie and don’t need much of an excuse to eat something that is promised to taste just like it, which this recipe did. I’ll admit, my first bite was underwhelming. However, with each subsequent bite, I became more of a fan, especially when I embraced the idea that this is less muffin and more pumpkin pie in a bite. This really won’t pass for a dessert but would be a welcome snack or breakfast option.
Stay calm and bake on
I can get overwhelmed when I see a long ingredient list, such as this recipe has. However, I was pleasantly surprised that I had everything on hand. The spices are very general and generic. If you are missing some, don’t panic. Do a quick google search for alternatives and you will be surprised with what you can get by with. Feel free to experiment with the spices by using cardamom or cloves if you are short nutmeg or ginger.
