I wasn’t going to do it. I really had not planned on making any recipes with pumpkin puree this season. But then I was sent some to try for another post & I couldn’t just let it sit there in the cabinet. So since I figured the kids were tired of having banana bread for breakfast everyday – I decided to take the pumpkin muffin recipe to the next level & make them something they will really enjoy in the mornings.
Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Muffins
As if the pumpkin muffins weren’t tasty enough- that Dulce de Leche makes it goodness overload.
Mmmmmmm………. look at that drizzle.
You know you want one 🙂
