| Because, it was 42 degrees this morning – in October- no way- yes way – I know, I was in shock too, especially after being in Boston this week with 75-degree weather! Because it was so cold I was holding my tea mug just to get my hands warm. Because it is fall and this happens in New England. Because, everywhere I turn I see pumpkins – subliminal food/baking advertising. Because I am not making pumpkin pies until that wonderful day in November. Because, I am not ready to start raking, but rather baking. Because, I am not supposed to start every sentence with a preposition, that was drilled into my brain in parochial school. So I will not start off by saying because just that I really want to turn on the oven and bake Easy Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake Muffins. |

| I think that the word muffin is another word for cake. ” Mommy, may I have a slice of cake for breakfast?” – No. ” Mommy, may I have a muffin for breakfast?” – Sure go ahead, have two! Makes sense to me! So, these are Easy Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake Muffins. Or you can just tell yourself they are muffins. |
 |
| Here is what you will need. Flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, sugar and cinnamon. I used the large can of pumpkin and doubled the recipe. I usually double recipes and give baked goodies as gifts, my waistline is much happier about this. The recipe on this page is not doubled. |
 |
| Mix Pumpkin, oil, eggs, sugar and pumpkin pie spice together with a whisk. |
 |
| Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then add to wet mixture. |
 |
| Mix dry mixture and wet mixture until just combined. |
 |
| Use your favorite ice cream scooper and place two scoops into muffin tins. |
 |
| Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of muffins before you place in oven to bake. |
 |
| Bake for 25 minutes, insert a knife or toothpick to test if it is done, it should come out clean. |
 |
| MMMMMM- warm- cinnamony- pumpkin perfection. |
 |
| If you love pumpkin and cinnamon- you will love these- super moist and fluffy. |
 |
| Pretty morning breakfast pumpkin muffins. |

I've had a small can of Libby's Pumpkin on my counter for a week - the kids are begging me to make pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin anything - and you are right, muffin=okay for breakfast whereas cake, not so much, so we'll go with muffins! Love the cinnamon sprinkled on top! Good heavens.And how'd you like going from 42 degrees last week to this weekend???? Isn't N.E. crazy? Love it.
