 With this recipe you can use a mini muffin pan or a regular one.  This pumpkin recipe will transform your morning.  Popping mini muffins in your mouth on the go for breakfast makes this recipe a must on busy weekdays.  This recipe is one of my favorite pumpkin treats and it’s made with real pumpkin!
