Need to use up some leftover pumpkin over the holidays?
Over the holidays you made a lot of pumpkin pie, right. Did you have just a cup or two left over? Here’s a recipe for perfectly moist muffins that my Mom always made. Her recipe is the best – I think it’s the rum-soaked raisins make the difference! (opps I added those!)
Tipsy Raisin Pumpkin Muffins
These are moist and delicious. The hint of rum and the crunch of brown sugar is yummy!
