Momosita's Pumpkin Muffins

Submitted by lolablitz

"These are amazing yummy and healthy muffins! This recipe is adapted from Southern Foods at About.com. They're perfectly moist, perfect levels of pumpkin and spice and sweet and savory. My one year old LOVES these! Update: I've used this recipe to make 2 dozen mini-muffins and 10 regular muffins as well."

I am a SAHM who loves to cook for my small family! I have a 14 month old daughter, a wonderful husband, a seven year-old Keeshond and a cat named Rex Manly. I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
