a little pumpkin spice and everything nice- what's cookin' wednesday

Fall is upon us at the Blue Barn Sanctuary and we’ve been incorporating all of our fall favorites little by little.

mmmmm…..pumpkin….

We brought in the last of our pumpkins a few weeks ago and after a few solid days of procrastination, I found the motivation to bake them , puree and freeze it up.

SO …..VERY……WORTH ……IT!!!!!!

That pumpkin didn’t last very long, however, because I took one of my favorite recipes out of storage.

Yep, it’s from Oh She Glows and Yep Yep, you can make it ONE bowl (no, not a crock pot this time).

So it’s EASY….DELICIOUS…..and……. CHOCOLATE..

WIN/WIN/WIN

What’s even better is that the chocolate is mixed with….wait for it….

PUMPKIN SPICE!!!!!!!!!

homemade pumpkin spice mix….who knew!?!?

So here is the recipe to our very favorite muffins that we hope you will enjoy, too.

Some selling points:

  • -they are chocolate (do you need more??)

  • -they are made with whole grain flour (I use oat and/or spelt)

  • -you can lessen the sugar and they still rock

  • they are plant based so no animals were harmed in any way to make them

  • they are chocolate

So go make them, and then, you know, EAT THEM!!!

And know that you are making one more awesome, compassionate choice in your life.

Here’s that recipe…

One Bowl Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Muffins

they often look a little weird (and sometimes we just make 10 vs 12). don’t let any of that scare you. they are AWESOME.

Thanks for cooking with us and letting kindness, compassion and empathy grow!!

With Gratitude,
