  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg 
  • 1/4 tsp all spice
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Add in the Oat and cream and mix tell well combined

In a separate bowl mix together all the dry ingredients. 

Fold in dry ingredients into the wet tell just incorporated. Be careful to not over mix or you will have rubber muffins. 

Fill muffin tins to the top.

Bake an additional 15 min. Muffins are done when they spring back from a gentle touch and a fork or toothpick come out clean. 

Let sit in pan for 5 min. then move to cooling rack

If you want to you can add a glaze to the top or just enjoy them as is.

Pumpkins

During this beautiful time of spring I find myself thinking about pumpkins and fall. Spring is great with all the flowers blooming and the fat bumble bees buzzing around. But I cant get my mind off pumpkins and halloween/ fall stuff. Fall is the perfect time for warm beverages and snuggling. My two favorite things. Anyways to tide me over I present to you a collection of warming fall inspired images.




Ahhhh so cute and relaxing. I just love the whole feeling of fall and wish I could live in it forever. The two skeleton paintings are from http://www.etsy.com/shop/gossamerfaery?ref=seller_info
I think I'm homesick for fall.
