Pumpkin Walnut Muffins

Happy international Food Bloggers Have to Post a Pumpkin Recipe Day!!

Yep, we made it to October! Get ready to be completely overwhelmed by pumpkin recipes. Pancakes, cupcakes, doughnuts, pasta, pizza, it’s going to be everywhere. And that makes me happy.

I actually wasn’t feeling the pumpkin love this year but this weekend I had to replace my vacuum and while we were at Target, I wandered over to the baking aisle and a can of pumpkin fell into my cart. What do you do?

These muffins might be my favorite pumpkin muffin ever. Figuring out that I need to add an extra egg to recipes like this (because of elevation) has seriously changed my life. I think every muffin I’ve made since then has been my omgfavoriteever. But yeah, they are incredibly delicious and let’s be real, anything with brown sugar sprinkled on top is amazing. The brown sugar gets crunchy in places and melts in other places. You can’t go wrong.

I caught my 2 year old licking batter off the counter when I turned my back. Apparently they’re that good.
