Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins topped off with pumpkin seeds and pumpkin spice glaze.

It’s Fall my favorite time of the year. And pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors of the season. Hello again, it Celeste from The Whole Serving, and this time around I’m sharing my Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins topped off with pumpkin seeds and pumpkin spice glaze.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a lot of free time and during the holidays I have even less of it. That’s the wonderful thing about these muffins, they come together so quickly. No eggs to crack, no oil to measure but loads of moisture.

I made a batch before going to bed and took them to work to share and they were a big hit. So add this one to your pumpkin repertoire. If you’re like me you don’t always have pumpkin pie spice available or if you do it’s leftover from last year and has lost is pop. The solution, make your own, here’s my recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Happy Fall Baking!!!
