Sunday Supper Sisters: September 2015

Quick.... Easy.... Oh So Delicious:

Do I have your attention fall lovers? If not, I have attached a photo of the Little Man, playing with a truck that Aunty got for him. Who doesn't love an excavator?

Alright, take a look. These little guys are delicious, and easy, and moist, and taste like fall exploded in your mouth. Too much, I know, but I can't help but go on and on about how simple these little guys are. At about 40 calories a pop for a mini, or 120 for a full size, its not too bad. Plus, you have the pure power of pumpkin working for you in these little babies.

Every recipe has a story, this is what I know:

My aunt bought a farmhouse sink from across the country. She traveled hours to go pick it up and the wonderful lady she bought it from gave her a tupperware full of these muffins and a recipe for the ride home. Kenra, wherever you are, thank you! We usually get about 20 full size muffins.

Without further ado: Cinnamon Pumpkin Muffins:

1: Oven to 350

2: Assemble the ingredients:

1 box spice cake mix

1 15 oz can Pure Pumpkin (not the pumpkin pie mix!)

5 oz. (half the 10 oz bag) of cinnamon chips.

Mixer optional

Dump in the spice cake mix.

Does Jes not have the cutest can opener?

Add the whole can of pumpkin. Pumpkin... not pumpkin pie!

Mix until blended

Dump in half the bag of cinnamon chips.

I stir these in by hand, not for any technical reason. I suppose I could say just from habit, or that I don't want the paddle to break up the cinnamon chips. I am now at about 2 minutes into the work.

Scoop into the muffin tins, these are mini muffins, 1 rounded Tablespoon fills these up pretty well. They will not rise much, so don't worry about overfilling. With regular muffin tins, 1/3 a cup usually works pretty well for me, use your best judgement!
