MUFFIN

Muffin is such a cute word that it gives me joy to make them.
Be sure to drain the pumpkin well!
With the pumpkin I made -

Pumpkin Pecan Oatmeal Muffins
1 c. flour
1 1/2 c. quick cooking oats
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 t. baking powder
1/2 baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. cloves
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. oil
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1/2 brown sugar
1 c. canned pumpkin or fresh (nicely drained) like mine

Raw Sugar for topping

Mix first eight dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix remaining ingredients except raw sugar. Pour wet into dry and mix just until flour is moistened. Do not over beat! Scoop batter into greased muffin tin and top with a sprinkling of raw sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Optional: Add half a cup of moist raisins to batter for an extra pop!

Heidi is a pumpkin muffin eater
But it gave her a wider seater
On this problem she did not dwell
'cause her husband loves big buns well
