My Favorite Pumpkin Muffins

I posted this recipe many years ago, but I’m afraid it’s gotten kind of buried under the list of recipes, and I am re-posting it today to make sure my readers know how GOOD these are!


I had never added chocolate chips to this recipe before, but my grandsons were coming for an afternoon visit, and I knew they would enjoy the addition of some chocolate. My favorite way to eat these is warm with a little butter spread over each half!

Easy Pumpkin Banana Coffee Cake

There’s nothing quite like getting home from a week away and being handed ready-homemade meals. That was my “welcome home” blessing from my girls this weekend. After being with my parents for eight days while my dad has been in the hospital (and now in rehab), I came home on Friday. My body, heart and emotions were spent, but I was so thankful I could be there to help. It’s a joy, and the Lord gave strength each step of the way.

Coming home was God’s timing, which made it especially sweet. Whitney was in Tennessee visiting her sister for 24 hours, so we all got to be together (another blessing!). Then before we parted, they handed me containers of food that they had prepared for us, to lighten my load! Supper/lunch meals consisting of a chicken casserole, salad, homemade bread, and chili. Then for breakfast, Pumpkin Banana Coffee Cake and bananas. I cried. How thoughtful. How appreciated! It truly touched my heart.

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

This weekend I had the blessing of speaking at the ladies’ retreat at The Wilds of New England. I’ll share more of that later, but today I want to share (again) the recipe for the dessert we had Friday night – Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. I’ve posted this recipe before, but thought it deserved double honor since its now pumpkin season! You won’t be disappointed with these yummy little treasures!
