Fall and baking just seem to go together, don’t they? Whether it’s an apple pie, a fall fruit crisp (my favorite is Ina Garten’s Apple-Pear Crisp), and of course, pumpkin anything! There is nothing like a warm pumpkin muffin with a spicy cup of coffee on a crisp morning.  Here’s one of my favorite recipes for Pumpkin Muffins (from Libby’s):

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups granulated sugar
1 can (15 ounces) LIBBY’S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water or orange juice
Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Paper-line or grease 30 muffin cups.

COMBINE flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Combine sugar, pumpkin, eggs, oil and juice in large mixer bowl; beat until just blended. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture; stir just until moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.

BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store muffins in covered container or resealable plastic bags. Enjoy!
