Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

OK, I've been on a pumpkin kick lately. I've also been on a non-blogging kick. I'm sorry about that. I truly am! Lots of life happening around here. We're still cooking, though, and have lots of yummy things to tell you about.

Here's what I did....I took our go-to oatmeal muffin recipe and turned it into a Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffin recipe. It's even better this way!! It's the kind of thing that makes me proud. So. Very. Proud.Since I'm so crazy for pumpkin, I took it a step further and enjoyed them with what I like to call my lazy, super skinny pumpkin pie spice latte (coffee + a little non-fat creamer + pumpkin pie spice. See, told you I was lazy). But man, was it good!

As always, my little whiner helped me make these...
