Hey guys, how was the long weekend?

I did nothing all weekend. And by nothing I mean that I decided to rewatch Jane the Virgin and somehow made it through 2 ½ season in 3 days.

Granted, I tend to just leave it on and walk away for hours at a time but still.

I always go back to that show when I’m super stressed because it’s funny and ridiculous and I just love it.

I did escape to my favorite trail with the husky (Good Water Loop in Georgetown) because I just really needed it to not see another human for a few hours.

I listened to a couple of my favorite podcasts, fell in the mud twice, and then stood under the waterfall before doing the 3 miles back to the car in wet shoes.

It was exactly what I needed.

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter
• Granulated sugar
• Eggs
• Bananas
• Pumpkin puree – make sure it it pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling
• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Walnuts – you can use pecans or even chocolate chips if you prefer

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with liners.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and banana and beat until mostly smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whish together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to remove any lumps. Add this to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
• Use a rubber spatula to fold in the walnuts.
• Divide the batter among the 24 muffin cups.
• Bake 22 – 24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

How Long Are Pumpkin Muffins Good For?

These muffins should be fine at room temperature for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover them tightly – I always use this muffin tin with a lid because once the muffins cool, I can just pop the lid on. No need to dirty a storage container!

If you want a few more days out of them, you can keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days but they will start to dry out in the fridge.

Can You Freeze Muffins?

Yes, you can freeze these muffins for up to 3 months! I would wrap them in plastic wrap and then put them in a freezer ziploc bag.

To defrost, just let them sit at room temperature overnight. You can warm them in the microwave or oven to get the chill off.
