Attention foodlovers! This is delicious. I previously posted a pumpkin-spired recipe and admitted that it wasn’t exactly a success. Now I come back to you all with pure joy that not only did I get to use up the other half of the giant can of pumpkin puree that I purchased, but it was well worth it! This recipe is easier, quicker and way tastier.
This kind of recipe is what my blog is all about! Great food, made easy for friends and family. I mixed the batter with a hand mixer to ensure everything came together, but only briefly and on a low setting.
Sidenote: have only recently discovered Nutella and it works perfectly with this recipe (and solo with some strawberries!).
I found this recipe through a Pinterest link. Always Pin-spired.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-count standard muffin pan with baking cups or grease.
- In a mixing bowl, blend together the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla until combined. In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth {make sure not to overmix}. Pour batter into the baking cups, until approximately 2/3 full.
- Put the Nutella into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds or until it thins out just enough to swirl. Using a spoon, drop a small spoonful or two of Nutella onto the top of each muffin and swirl using the tip of a knife.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Yummy! Happy baking!
Pinterest-licious!
