Number 76!!
In my very own Cookbook Countdown!
I am also calling this Cookbook Wednesday, but at the moment, there isn't a link-up. I just wanted to give a shout out to Louise!
As I said the last time I posted a cookbook for the countdown,
this isn't even making a dent in my collection.
And it's #76!
This will keep me busy until I die. (posting from each cookbook)
I'm so glad I have a purpose in life! A goal! I can never give up!

I had a hard time choosing something to make from this cookbook. Mostly because everything sounded so good!
I decided on a nice muffin to serve in the morning with a good cup of coffee.
Pumpkin seems like a fall ingredient, but I had it in my pantry.
These muffins are a copy-cat recipe from
Dunkin' Donuts
Pumpkin Spice Muffins.
It made a good muffin.
You can't really see it but there is a kind of crunchy caramelized topping of brown sugar on top.
I liked that part best of all.
I would make these again--they were good.
I can't compare them to the ones at Dunkin' Donuts, as I have never had their's.
I can't wait to try some other desserts from this cookbook!
Dunkin' Donuts
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
One box 18.25 oz spice cake mix
One 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
One 30 oz can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbls plain yogurt
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Whisk together the box of spice cake, the pudding. Stir in the pumpkin puree and blend well.
Using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla, yogurt, canola oil and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until the ingredients are well incorperated.
Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with muffin batter. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Makes 12 muffins.
*mine made more than 12--like 18 or 20.

I'll bet this is a wondeful cookbook, and your muffins look just delicious. I've added you to Cookbook Wednesday, which I'm hosting while Louise is on sabbatical. Thanks for joining.
I've never had Dunkin' Donuts muffins either but yours sure do look good. I've found those cookbooks to be hit or miss.
We think alike! I made excellent muffins the other day too! Used apple juice concentrate to make a strong apple cider (donut) ripoff muffin, dipped in butter and cinnamon sugar ... these pumpkin muffins may well be my next coffee fix! Tasty, indeed! And so perfect with the morning joe!
I like pumpkin all year long, not just during the November holidays. Some people only eat it then. Love those muffins!
By the way, in reference to your comment about the cooking club, it's not a commitment. They have themes for each week and you may join in as you please. I don't hook up every week. Thanks, about the chicken!
