These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins are a great option for pumpkin lovers out there.
Serve them for breakfast or as a treat after dinner. They are delicious alongside a hot cup of coffee!
When the fall season comes around, I seek out anything and everything PUMPKIN!
I absolutely love pumpkin. I love the taste and the smell of pumpkin when the cooler temperatures roll around!
I love to bake with pumpkin once October rolls around. I get started early so that I can take advantage of as much pumpkin deliciousness as I can!
My kids are getting older and enjoy helping me bake. They help me with everything from gathering the ingredients, measuring the ingredients, pouring, stirring, mixing — you name it.
What Do Kids Learn While Cooking?
I try to make our baking moments educational but lots of fun, too.
Baking in the kitchen with the kids can help create memories for them to hold on to for a lifetime!
I remember the moments when I helped my mom bake in the kitchen. My main way of helping was licking the spoons after stirring the cake mix when we thought it was safe to do so!
This year, I want to share a pumpkin recipe with you that the whole family will enjoy. These Pumpkin Oat Muffins are fun and easy to make, all from scratch.
These pumpkin muffins are a tasty treat served either for breakfast with coffee or juice and can be a great after dinner snack, too!
