I am not quite sure IF Dave truly knew what he was getting into when he met me and first walked into my 'decorated for Christmas' house- I have a sneaking suspicison, he might just thought it was a Christmas thing. Little did he know, it's all holidays, all the time. Basically Summertime is the least holiday themed my home will ever be- although I am now trending summer to an Americana theme from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
So on this Labor Day Eve, I am beginning to map out my strategy for pulling out the boxes and getting out all things fall. However, I am putting myself on a strict 'no buying' policy-- after buying the adorable "Gobble til you Wobble' turkey yesterday.... and the white/eggplant pumpkin in July.
But when my house starts to look like fall (and yes, I know it's hotter than heck out there still- love the South!), I start to want to bake. And here is my first fall bake of the year and what an easy slice of heaven this is.... PUMPKIN MUFFINS! Just three ingredients- cake mix, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice- I mean HOW easy could this be?
Pumpkin Muffins
1 box spice cake mix
1 can pumpkin
2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons Slenda for baking or Stevia (I use Wal Mart brand)
1. Mix the cake and pumpkin together. You will have to mix this by hand and slow- it will come together and form a somewhat sticky batter.
2. Fill muffin tins with batter.
3. Mix pumpkin pie spice and Splenda. I sprinkle a little of this mixture on top of each muffin. Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes.
These muffins are soooo moist- you will fall in love with this fall treat. Dave does not care much for pumpkin, but enjoyed these muffins- and they are healthier for you because there are no eggs, oil, etc..... just healthy pumpkin.
AH, what a lovely start to fall....
