Pumpkin Muffins

What do you do with pumpkins? The ones that aren't carved from Halloween, I usually toss them, but this year, my neighbour gave me one and told me to cook with it. I decided to try pumpkin muffins from scratch, meaning I'd puree the pumpkin myself. These were pretty easy once I had the puree. I used a recipe from Pinterest from Eat. Drink. Love. I used whole wheat flour and honestly, I can't tell the difference. These were great warm with plain cream cheese.

1 cup pumpkin pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
1 teasponn vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup light brown brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

*** add chocolate chips or pecans. I used both, but loved the pecan ones the best. 

Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, oil, yogurt, vanilla and egg. Stir in brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, stir together, flour, baking soda, powder, salt and spices.
Fold the dry ingredients in with the wet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
​Enjoy!

Carbs. I love them. Such a comfort food, right? I love homemade muffins and loaves, but then, who doesn't? I tried searching for a muffin recipe that only called for spelt flour because I'm trying to limit my wheat intake. I couldn't find one that I liked, so I made up my own. Do you have a recipe to share? Feel free to post in the comment box.  
I hope you enjoy. xx

Left winger Jared Landry is one of the (gorgeous) faces of Vancouver’s Warriors hockey team—except he’s not comfortable in the spotlight. He gets that charity events are important to the community, he just wants to contribute in his own way. Face-time with the fans puts him in a vulnerable position, bringing up past memories—and present complications. But a certain fiery newcomer won’t take no for an answer...
 
Meghan O’Riley is the Warriors’ new events coordinator, and she wants everyone on board—including Jared. Meghan knows he has a history of flaking out on important occasions, and she has no patience for his devil-may-care attitude. But Meghan will have to hone her rookie flirting skills to get the star to commit to the team—and maybe even to her…
