Muffins!

Hey. I just wanted to pop in really quickly and share a recipe before I head off to school for the day.

Yes, my room is lime green. My dad likes to call it “puke green.”

Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400* and coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (the flours and spices).
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, molasses, oil, eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla.
4. Stir the flour into the wet ingredients in two batches, alternating with the milk. Mix until just moistened.

I made some sweet potato muffins about two weeks ago, so I’m working on perfecting the recipe before I share it with you guys. They’re really good though! I’m also going to make butternut squash muffins when I find the time (school is killing me). I think I’m becoming obsessed with muffins?!

What is your favorite flavor of muffins? Any muffin recipe requests?

Bible verse of the day: For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 1 Peter 2:15-16

Weekend

Friday:Really delicious coffee and goofing off at the gym. Other things that happened on Friday: school, homework, and Bob Evans for dinner.

Saturday:^ A fall festival.

Dinner out with my family and the Pirates game (they won!). Other things that happened on Saturday: a long trail fun, homework, and lots of laughing.

Sunday:

I have no pictures from Sunday. Bummer. I went to church, Panera, did homework, went on a walk with Jimmy, and back to church.

It was a good weekend, as per usual. Thanks for all of the support on my last post. I’m doing a little bit better with the whole school-life balance :).
