Pumpkin Bar Muffins


Pumpkin Bar Mini Muffins





Mix all of your dry ingredients together.




Mix all of the wet ingredients.




Once you mix everything together drop into greased muffin tin and bake for 12-14 minutes.

Let cook completely.

Frost.

This is what I used to frost them, it made it so easy! 





Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 c sugar
  • 1 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
  • 2 cup flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • Cooking Spray (I used Coconut Oil Spray)
Frosting Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 c butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 pkg powdered sugar (about half of a 2 pound bag)
  • 1 TBS whole milk
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Muffin Directions:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin until light and fluffy. Add mixed dried ingredients into pumpkin mixture, beating until fully combined.
  3. Drop by spoonful in a greased mini muffin tin until 3/4 full.
  4. Bake for 12-14 minutes depending on your oven, until the top is springy.
  5. Let cool for 5 minutes in pan and then transfer to cooling rack.
  6. Let cool completely 
Frosting Directions:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until frosting is smooth. 
  2. I used a pampered chef frosting press to decorate the muffins. If you don't have one you could easily use a pastry bag or even a spatula or knife.

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course). And now for the rest in really no particular order because I couldn’t possibly decide between them all🤷‍♀️.

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

Life update + some new projects

Lifish update I’ll do a full “anniversary post” in July but I’ve just had a lot of thoughts lately about life, crohns, everything. To be honest I’ve had a lot of confusion and even discouragement which is not normally me. I’m coming up on two years and while I’m no where near how I was two years ago (I mean that was pretty bad...😳) I’m also nowhere near where I thought I would be, I remember thinking that on the year anniversary too and I kind of think that feeling has just progressed since then😕. I’m no better than I was 8 months ago to be completely honest with you and in some ways may or worse? I am so so thankful to have a diagnosis and know what’s wrong with me, but with that I thought would come answers and healing. I’ve had some answers and some healing of course, but there’s still really a lot of unknown! In the beginning I used to talk about finding my “new normal” well I’m here to tell you 2 years later I still haven’t found it😂. Learning to navigate something new ...
