I love to bake. Even more, I love to receive compliments on my baking. Is that bad?
This weekend, The Hubs and I are attending a few Halloween events, and I've offered to bring 'my' famous Pumpkin Spice Muffins. The recipe isn't originally mine. But since I'm the only one around these parts that bakes them, I've claimed it as mine. Fair enough.
When I bake 4 dozen muffins for adults, I want them to be cute, but I don't necessarily want to go too crazy with decorating them. So a very simple flag does the trick... get it...? trick...
The little flag was creating using the die from Chocolate Greetings. Using MCT's new stamp set, Teeny Tag Holidays (available on Friday), I stamped the sentiment in two steps (since the original stamp has the two parts on separate lines) onto my flag.
Since I want my Pumpkin Spice Muffins to be fresh this weekend, I've used an extra chocolate cupcake I had from baking for a friend's birthday yesterday as a 'stand-in' for my photo.
There's more to see on Emma's blog today - head on over and check it out!
I hope you were inspired!
- Veronica

Pumpkin Spice Muffins Recipe
Makes 12 - 16 muffins
Ingredients
1 15oz. can of pumpkin
1 box of Spice Cake mix (I recommend Duncan Hines)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
In a large bowl, combine ingredients (Do NOT add anything that the box mix tells you such as eggs and oil. You ONLY need the mix itself.).
Fill paper-lined muffin tins with batter.
Bake for 20 minutes.

A cute little flag is all that's needed. A chocolate stand-in is perfect. Great job on your project. Thank You for the great recipe...it is so simple and without eggs and oil healthier too. I think I have had a cookie recipe like this...just the bake time is less and you can add chopped nuts. Thank You!
