Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

Is it just me or does anything with the word pumpkin in it sound delicious?  Something about that bright orange squash that is absolutely scrumptious during the fall months!  I can't help myself on Pinterest to want to tag anything associated with it!  So in the upcoming weeks you may see more than your share of pumpkin recipes.  This is one that my sister Katie found while we were down in Galveston.  It was in a recipe book my Papa actually gave us and I have not even bothered looking for a better one since.  You make your own call.  

Combine 3 cups of granulated sugar, 1 cup of extra light olive oil and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  


Add the four eggs and beat until well combined.  Set aside.



In another large bowl combine 3 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp salt, 1 TB cinnamon, 1 tsp ground nutmeg and 1 tsp pumpkin spice.  Whisk together and add alternately with 2/3 cup of water to the egg and sugar mixture.  Beat in 1- 15 oz can of pumpkin.  


You can either then bake in a loaf pan or make muffins like I did.  This recipe will make 2 dozen muffins bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
