Most recipes in autumn use pumpkin as their main ingredient, especially for Halloween. I’ve decided to make some festive muffins. Now, if you’ve never tried Pumpkin mixed with cheese you’re missing out! I guarantee this will be a hit with everyone (you can never go wrong with bacon added in).  

Delicious yet healthy.
