Pumpkin Spice Latte Muffins

Coffee, pumpkins, & warm spice combine to make a yummy & inviting fall muffin.

I am finally getting around to baking more pumpkin goodies.  I still had pumpkin puree left in the fridge from the Pumpkin Raisin Bread and I knew I needed to bake with it soon.  But I came down with a cold or sinus junk and didn't feel like baking or spreading my germs.  But I'm finally starting to feel better and ready for some more fall goodies!

To be honest, I don't drink pumpkin spice lattes ever.  I had one a long time ago but there isn't a coffee shop in the town I live in, let alone a Starbucks.  So I drink all my coffee at home and am quite content with that.  But I see people talking about them all the time, especially on Twitter and I think man do they sound good!!

So if a pumpkin spice latte sounds good, then pumpkin spice latte muffins must be really, really good!  Or at least that was the thought that kept running through my head.  I love muffins, so the combo would be fantastic, right?  So I decided to try it out!  I used Kerry's Versatile Muffin recipe as my base and added in my pumpkin and some of my favorite fall spices. 

Yield: 12 muffins

The coffee flavor in these is pretty mild, so if you are a big coffee fan you may want to add a little more.  I was sharing with the kiddos so didn't mind the mild flavor.  These were a huge hit around our house.  My 2 year old, Jet, was constantly sneaking into the kitchen to steal more muffins off the cooling rack.  Apparently his arms are much longer than I realize, since I had to push the muffins farther back several times.
