It Is Secret Recipe Club Time!
It Is Secret Recipe Club Time!
Recently I joined a fun cooking group online called, The Secret Recipe Club. Oh. My. Goodness what fun! I was assigned a LOVELY blog and from that blog I got to choose a recipe to make and then share with all of you. But I couldnt reveal the blog or the recipe until today! So without any further waiting my secret recipe for today is, Mini Pumpkin Muffins....
.... from the wonderful blog, Everyday Sisters. :-)
Not only did I enjoy this recipe (as I am sure you guys will too) but I fell head over heels in love with this blog! Four (yes, FOUR...two of which are identical twins and all four of which are just lovely inside and out - I can tell by their sweet smiles.) sisters have created and contribute to Everyday Sisters. All of them are just lovely - I feel like I know them personally now that I have been following them for the past month. I felt honored to get to know them via their blog. I love the variety of recipes that they offer such as Bistro Style Pasta Neapolitano (super yum looking and simple to throw together), White Zinfandel Sangria (one of my all time favorite kinds of drinks...the recipe lots so GOOD!) and Blueberry Cheesecake (which won an award!). Yup, I did a lot of drooling as I looked through their blog. So many yummy recipes!! :-)

I loved these Mini Pumpkin Muffins! These little gems only required 5 ingredients - simple, yummy and fun. Nothing better than that. Amen! And because they were so yummy and simple to make I made a batch to send to my oldest daughters Halloween party at school today. I think all the kiddos will love them!
Mini Pumpkin Muffins
(recipe from Everyday Sisters)
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin (NOT pie filling)
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil (I used canola)
sunflower seeds - optional - (I used chocolate covered sunflower seeds as that is what I had on hand... which worked out pretty well!)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease mini muffin tins or line with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except for sunflower seeds. Mix until well combined.
3. Stir into batter sunflower seeds or you can wait until muffin batter has been scooped into tins.
4. Scoop batter into muffin tins. I did so with my small scoop from Pampered Chef.
5. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Cool for a couple of minutes in pan and then remove to serve and enjoy.
YUM!
A special thank you to Ellen, Nanci, Karen and Susan from Everyday Sisters for being part of the Secret Recipe Club so that I could have you as my first Secret Recipe Club blog. Also, Id like to thank Amanda who created this cooking club and Tami for hostessing my group. I cant wait to find out which blog I get for the month of November!
Happy Mini Pumpkin Muffin Baking!
