Pumpkin Muffins
It’s such a treat to wake up to a tray of fresh pumpkin muffins. They taste amazing with a pat of salted butter spread over them, and they might be our favorite grab-and-go breakfast. We’d definitely tuck them into the kids’ lunchboxes. But they’re also our favorite for long fall weekends at the cabin — all that pumpkin and spice makes a delightful pairing with cool northern air and tastes especially nice after an invigoratingly cold swim or a challenging hike — and before a nap!
