If I had to pick just one decadent baked good recipe to crank out of my kitchen all autumn long this Marbled Pumpkin Muffin Recipe would be the one! They are totally decadent, with a tender crumb and are chock-full of dark chocolate. Pretty perfect right!?
Today the internet is exploding with pumpkin goodness thanks to Cake Over Steak & Twigg Studio's #virtualpumpkinparty and since these muffins are my family's favorite pumpkin creation to come out of my kitchen this season they just had to be my contribution to the celebration!
Kash literally counts these Marbled Pumpkin Muffins when they come out of the oven and makes the rest of us answer for every single one that goes missing from the pan. It's a bit ridiculous, but I honestly can't remember seeing him this passionate about any type of food in his entire life. I guess the boys taste buds are finally waking up! Hallelujah!
