Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins


Told you I'd have a pumpkin recipe soon! I actually made these several days ago but I'm just now getting around to posting them because of some technical issues with my computer. I'm still not sure what is going on but I found a way around it which will do until I can figure out how to permanently fix the problem.

I hope everyone has a fantastic New Years Eve and a fabulous 2013! I plan on spending the night with friends and some kind of sparkling drink. Look for new recipes here in the new year!
