That’s it!

These 6 pumpkin muffins are still great when they are cold. We keep them either sealed in a food bag or in a container in the fridge. As a result, they become little bit moist and are even yummier the next 2 days. Easy to bring along and no mess, pumpkin muffins are perfect as snacks for long walks in the park or afternoon picnics when the October weather is good.

You can also serve them for a Halloween breakfast with a glass of milk or a small bowl of plain yogurt.
