“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

October is the time for all things pumpkin flavored.
In honor of October and its pumpkin offerings, I am going to share a tea time treat with you!
These pumpkin muffins have been a seasonal favorite in my house for years. They are delicious by themselves or they pair perfectly with a hot cuppa tea.
