Nope, I'm not moving again.

Hey y'all! Happy Sunday! I'm starting a weekly post for recipes here on the blog every Sunday. I'll either give y'all a recipe or review a recipe and go step by step in making it. Without further ado, let's get baking! Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Muffins (ala Olivia*) from The Lagasse Girls in The Gluten Free Table Cookbook Ingredients:
There are three steps initially if you are using real pumpkin vs. canned pumpkin. I'm not going to add those here because that's not how I made my muffins. So, technically I'm listing step 4 as step 1. If you want to make them with real pumpkin, buy The Lagasse Girls Cookbook! ;) 1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit 2) Line one 12- cup muffin tin or two 6- cup tins with paper muffin cups. (Or do what I do and just grease the tin.) 3) In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour blend, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, and cranberries and stir with a fork to mix well. (it will look like the picture below) 4) In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, orange juice and zest, butter and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend thoroughly. (This is where I added in the apple cider for more moistness.) 5) Add the canned pumpkin to the wet mixture and stir well. (It will look like the picture below.) 6) Gently but thoroughly fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. It's okay if the batter still contains a few lumps. (I added the wet to the dry. You can see it below.) 7) Spoon the batter into the 12 muffin cups, dividing evenly and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The recipe does have some other steps past this point, but I haven't found these steps necessary in my making of these muffins. So. . . . . SHAZAM! Muffins! Yay! These are really yummy with some butter and a glass of apple cider. They'd probably be fantastic with apple butter as well, but I have none at the moment. :( Have fun baking, and Happy Fall, Y'all!
