Pumpkin recipes are popping up all over, and that’s a good thing! I love all things pumpkin and I have been bookmarking recipes to put me through Thanksgiving. I have stocked up on pumpkin puree and I am ready to go! I found this recipe for pumpkin bread on Amy’s blog, New Nostalgia. Hop on over and pay her a visit. She shares many tips on beauty, recipes, homemaking, and more!

As I was reading through the recipe, the fact that all this magic happens in one bowl in just a few minutes was perfect! See above? One bowl and I just pulled ingredients from the cupboard as I needed them and put them right back. No mess and no fuss at all.
Easy One Bowl Mini Muffins
1 ½ cup sugar ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg 2 eggs ¼ teaspoon baking powder 1 2/3 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup oil ¾ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cloves 1 cup pumpkin (about half a 15 oz can) ½ cup cold water- Bread (one loaf) = 75-90 minutes
- 12 Muffins = 45 minutes
- 24 Mini muffins = 25 minutes – I checked my mini muffins at 22 minutes and they were done.

I cooked up two batches. On one of the batches I sprinkled cinnamon and brown sugar crumble on top before baking. For the topping, I used 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons butter. I mixed it up with a pastry cutter, but a fork or your fingers will work just as well.

These muffins have just the right amount of pumpkin flavor and sweetness, but aren’t too sweet. The nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves give you that “Fall is here” feeling. They are perfect with a hot cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of cold milk for an afternoon or late night snack.

Thanks to Amy for sharing the recipe!
It’s all good. ~ Donna

~Keeping it real.~ This is my photo set up. My indoor light is crappy so outdoor light is the best. I picked up the napkin last year after Thanksgiving for $1.
