Breakfast: <font color="orange">Pumpkin Muffins</font>

First, buy the smallest pumpkin in your megamart. Note that this is not especially small.



Chop in it quarters, carve out the seeds and strings, and roast.



I used this pumpkin for my next couple dishes, but those are still ... in process.

2 C AP flour
1 t cinnamon
1 t cloves
.5 t allspice
.5 t nutmeg
1 t baking soda
.25 t baking powder
.5 t salt
1.5 C sugar
.75 C vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 t vanilla extract
3 C roasted pumpkin
1 C pecans

Preheat your oven to 325. Sift the dry goods together. Mix the wet goods. Roast the nuts. Puree the pumpkin.



Mix just until together. You don't want to over stir, or you'll make too much gluten and have cavernous muffins.



Bake for 30 minutes, till a toothpick comes out clean.



"Plate" by eating in the car on the way to work.



I feel like my choice of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice in a pumpkin dessert is pretty revolutionary. If you guys want to copy my 'flavor profile' for your own dishes, I'll understand.
