About this recipe
I love pretty much any dessert that involves pumpkin, so I thought that I would share with you all my super simple recipe for Pumpkin Walnut Muffins.
The best part about this recipe, at least to me, is that
It uses the entire big can of pumpkin!
Yep, no wasting 1/2 to 1 cup of pumpkin that so many recipes do.
Then that pumpkin just sits there in your fridge until it goes bad or you just toss it… at least that’s what always happens to me and I can’t be the only one that that happens to.
If you’re new to my recipes, you’ll find that I prefer to dump and mix because it takes little effort but you’re still cooking from scratch…( I know, I’m lazy as heck, but it is what it is).
This just happens to be one of those recipes so it shouldn’t take too long to make them.
I will warn you and say that this makes a large batch of three dozen muffins, so be prepared for that.
Even though it makes that many, my piggy little family of 5 will scarf them all in one day if there’s nothing else around to snack on.
My youngest eats three in one sitting because she likes them so much.
Like I said before, you literally just dump and mix this recipe.

Like I said before…you literally just dump all of your ingredients (minus the walnuts) into your mixing bowl…
So here is everything added to the mixer, minus the walnuts.
Then mix it up until well incorporated.
Next we add the Walnuts!
Then mix it again.
Let it sit for five to ten minutes when using flax meal, it makes them a little fluffier.
Now we either grease your cupcake tin or add liners and, using a standard ice cream scoop, fill them up.
Of course, I had to add another after shot to get you excited about making these again…here they are on the cooling rack.
It’s so simple to make these

Notes
Do not seal these muffins in a bag to save some for later. It traps in the moisture and they get all gooey. It's better to leave them uncovered and maybe just stick them in a covered display case, or cool oven for later.
It was funny when my kids saw me working on this post. They asked if I’d make some of these right then. They just like them that much and I hope you like them too.
