Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Spice Walnut Muffins

While there is a sadness moving away from sunshine, jumping in the lake, boat rides and adventures, fall brings on a whole new life and excitement of its own. I am always ready for the transition to fall and all it has to offer.

I have heard it said, “I may have not been ready for bikini season, but I’m definitely ready for hoodie season.” That is me all the way.

Part of the seasonal transition involves food. We move from popsicles, ice cream, salmon and BBQ to pies, soups, and everything pumpkin spice.

Whether you are a pumpkin spice latte kind of person or a pumpkin pie fan, I think these easy and delicious pumpkin spice walnut muffins will make it into your autumn food rotation.

Ingredients Needed to Make Pumpkin Spice Walnut Breakfast Muffins

• 3 cups of all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract – the quality of vanilla makes a huge difference, so I’m sharing the one I enjoy.
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup of butter, melted
• ¾ cup of brown sugar
• ½ cup of vanilla yogurt (you can also sub Greek yogurt, or any other flavor)
• ¼ cup of milk (you can also use plant based milk)

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Walnut Muffins

1. Mix butter, sugar, yogurt, extract,  pumpkin, milk, and eggs in a bowl. Wisk well until mixed.
2. In a bowl mix flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to combine.
3. Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients and combine
4. Fold in nuts
5. Place muffin liners into a muffin tray and scoop  batter into the liners. Fill to ¾ way full for best results. I suggest not overfilling the muffin liners. 
6. Place in a 425 degree oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Tops should be firm and have slightly cracked when muffins are completely cooked. 
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
