    Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Muffin Recipe

    It's almost October, and you know what that means! It's time for pumpkin recipes galore! After all, pumpkin is one yummy seasonal vegetable that most of us just can't get enough of -especially with Halloween right around the corner. We make our favorite Pumpkin Pancakes recipe and we drink our favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte...It's a great time of year!

    This morning I was in the mood for a pumpkin recipe that would be perfect for a crisp and cool fall morning, and I think I found the perfect one: this Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Muffin recipe. I don't know if you know this or not, but Starbucks doesn't just make great coffee. They also make fantastic muffins as well. But really, who has the time or the money to hit the Starbucks drive-thru every time they want a pumpkin muffin? I know I don't. And furthermore - who knows what they put in those muffins to make them so yummy? Lots of additives and preservatives I'm sure! Beyond that, they don't have the muffins all year long. If you want one in the summer, you are just out of luck!

    With these Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Muffins, you don't have to worry about what you are getting or what you are spending or even that they will have them. They are made with common kitchen staple ingredients that you know and love, such as flour, sugar, milk, pumpkin, cinnamon and ginger. As a bonus, you can make these for just a fraction of the cost.

    The next time you're at home on a cool autumn morning and you're looking for something yummy to make, give this Starbucks Pumpkin Muffin recipe a try!
