Easy Pumpkin-Walnut Muffins

I tend to blog about pressing matters, and this recipe just couldn't wait (enter sarcasm!) In the spirit of Fall, I decided to bake some pumpkin treats. This recipe is cheap, quick and condusive to those lacking even intermediate cooking skills.

:Ingredients
1 package pumpkin bread mix (I used Giant Eagle brand.)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon

:Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine ingredients (except walnuts) in mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Fold in walnuts. Pour batter into greased 15 x 11, 12-cup muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown edges appear.
Outcome = success! The walnuts added texture and a savory surprise to the sweet & spicy muffins. I brought them to the office today and they received raving reviews from people ranging in ages 1 to 50! ;)

These muffins can be enjoyed as an afternoon snack or post-meal dessert, and will fill your house with a festive Fall aroma! (Wow, can I be any more "Miss Good Housekeeping?!")


Side note: I prefer the term "creative" over "domestic."

Enjoy!
