We’re back in action after a few years’ hiatus (moving, job changes, marriage—you know, the usual stuff!). To make it up to you, we’re sharing these delicious pumpkin muffins. I recommend using “large” muffin tins or liners so the center stays a little “moist”—it’s much more satisfying that way! The recipe serves 12 people and is very easy to follow.

Fall has definitely arrived—at least here in Milan—and I’ve decided to bid a final farewell to the nice weather with these chocolate and pear muffins! In fact, just from the cover photo, you can see that I actually made this recipe back in September. I was sure the bad weather was coming, but we were spared until early November—not bad, I must say! So here’s the recipe for chocolate and pear muffins.

The first recipe this fall is for apple and raisin muffins—they’re delicious! We can even pretend they’re “healthy”—after all, there’s clearly fruit in them! All joking aside, I don’t know about where you are, but here in Milan we’re having a fantastic start to fall! I hope you’re having fun and that this has helped you get over some of that so-called “back-to-school stress”! :D . Let’s jump right into the recipe and the shopping list for apple and raisin muffins!
