These pumpkin muffins are easy, quick and satisfying – there are only 3 steps. Everyone in the family will love them! Especially pumpkin spice latte lovers, like me. You can also sub 1/4 of the flour for whole-wheat or almond flour, and part or all of the sugar with alternative sugar (like erithritol or monkfruit) …
Pumpkin pie, a holiday tradition. Whether you like the classic version or a slightly more flavorful Bourbon version (which makes this the favorite for my family), it’s just not the holidays without a pumpkin pie of some kind.

To me that means spring vegetable season; asparagus, leeks, peas, artichoke, fennel and fresh herbs are bountiful in farmers markets. Much of this produce is available year-round, …
