Can you smell coffee? I can! Every morning, when I wake up half awake, the first thing I do is make a fresh pot of coffee. I just love the aroma! I can't talk to anyone until I have my first sip of coffee, and the fresher the better. I grind my coffee beans every morning and I like my coffee dark, no sugar, no milk.
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I am always hungry in the morning. Some days I'll have toast and peanut butter, other days I eat a bowl of overnight oats with bananas, but I also sometimes indulge in homemade muffins. It's a quick grab-and-go breakfast that the whole family can enjoy.
These muffins are so moist and they have just the right amount of spice to complement the pumpkin flavor. I added dark chocolate chips and when the muffins are still warm they melt in your mouth. You might have to grab more than one before you leave the house.
