I love when I come up with a recipe that can be used for two different meals. You can make these muffins for breakfast or snack or if you’re in our family both. I substituted the usual butter and oil for yogurt and they came out super yummy and light.
The recipe make approximately 40 mini muffins so I refrigerated the remainder in a container and just warmed them for 10 seconds in the microwave when we wanted to eat them.
I think pumpkins don’t get enough credit and use in the kitchen outside of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin is loaded with healthy stuff and it brings a nice depth of flavor to your recipe that you can’t get from anything else. So next time you see a can of pumpkin in the supermarket think of all the possibilities!
