I love Fall because of these pumpkin muffins. They are the most delicious thing ever. I can not express just how good they are! When they were ready, I was offering them to everyone I knew, proudly YUM!
Did you know that baking is good for mental health? Yes! When you are baking you are in a meditative state while being completely present and calm. When we are fully present with the textures, smells, heat, and tastes, we are, in a sense, having a tantric baking experience and in return are releasing major endorphins! Baking is a way to deeply nourish our selves through a sensory experience. Plus, in this day and age of fast food overload, anytime you take the time to make something at home, I applaud you! It’s also a good way to feed your right brain of creativity! Yes! Baking is one big artistry! We experiment, we tweak, we share, and we are delighted (Sometimes not so delighted) at the result.
Your family and friends will love this awesome recipe! You might want to make a double batch to get in the holiday spirit.
Trader Joe’s has really great Organic Pumpkin Puree. I go there for all of my baking goods!
