Muffin to it!

This weekend I had a request from my Mom for 2 dozen muffins to take to a chuch function.  Being a "good" girl I was happy to oblige! 

I've not considered myself much of a muffin baker until recently when I made some really delicious bran muffins.  Really tasty despite the bran!  I like making them in the mini size and then filling with some pimiento cheese, good for snacking or would be a nice addition to a party platter.  Also nice to bake them with a spoonful of jam in the middle for a sweet surprise.  I tend to like things more savory than sweet so these were less sweet than the average.

For the church function I decided to try out a new recipe for pumpkin muffins with candied pumpkin seed.  They turned out well, but I have really got to read better.  Mom needed 24 muffins, the recipe said it made 12 muffins, so I doubled it.  Apparently the 12 muffins were the huge Texas sized ones.  I ended up with about 48 regular sized muffins.  I've been passing them out right and left and freezing what was left.  I should have realized that the amount of ingredients I was using was ridiculous for 2 dozen.  Good learning experience apparently.  These were sweet muffins, but not hurt your teeth sweet at least.  Mother said the church folk liked them so guess that's good enough for me!  More appropriate for fall perhaps but given some cold weather we've had recently they still worked. 

Without further ado; the muffins.
