Are you a pumpkin-spice-everything lover? Or are you like, meh?
I’m kind of neither actually… while I don’t usually like pumpkin spice lattes (ugh, artificial flavour), I do really enjoy foods and drinks that incorporate the real spices… including these pumpkin spice muffins, as it so happens!
There are SO many ways you can tweak the blend of spices, so once you try mine, you can experiment as you see fit. Some of us like it strong, others like it nice and mild… and I’m somewhere in between!
Either way, pumpkin spice is THE flavour of the season. And for me, there is no better way to enjoy it than in a delicious, soft, right-out-of-the-oven muffin (with lots of butter, obvi). If you’ll be trying these babies out, let me know in the comments!
