On the first crisp morning of Fall I woke up and said to myself “this is a muffin kind of morning, pumpkin muffins that is. Bring on Fall!” Knowing that there was a supposed canned pumpkin shortage I had been stocking up the past few weeks. I would eye the cans of pumpkins in my pantry waiting for the perfect time to use them.
I’ve been looking for a good pumpkin muffin recipe for a while now. Just a simple, hearty pumpkin muffin recipe.No frills needed here. Finally, I realized I should go to the experts, Libby’s. If they don’t have a good recipe then who does? I often forget to browse company websites, must make a mental note to check more often!
Of course, I had to omit nuts when baking my muffins because of the nut hating husband but I really think the muffins need the nuts to give a heartiness to them so if you can help it, use them. I also decided to make these in regular sized muffins, so I adjusted the baking time and temp; baking for roughly 25 minutes and at 350 degrees.

My mouth is watering. One question. Can I replace the shorting with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier muffin? Other then that. Yum and thanks for sharing.

You can definitely experiment with substitutions or Google and find the appropriate substitutions. As always, since I haven’t made it that way I can’t attest to taste or texture though. Enjoy!
