White Chocolate Pumpkin Nut Muffins

Hello my friends!

I am coming to you from my office, sitting at my desk with fluffy socks, leggings and a sweatshirt. FALL HAS FALLEN! At least I hope it has. I mean, the heater isn't coming on anytime soon, but, it is supposed to freeze tonight I believe. I would like to see more of the sun but I am grateful for what I get.

As most of you know, I go in Tuesday for a right eye cornea transplant. I had intended to get more recipes out but the last couple of weeks have been filled with nerves, to do lists and did I mention, nerves? It has been hard to concentrate but hopefully I will get a few ready for you to be able to post while I am down.

This recipe is one I started making last fall. It is super easy, super, "Fall-ish", and super good, which is definitely the most important part! We love muffins at our house and you will find a ton of muffin recipes on my website. I will link to some others at the end!

Here is what you will need:
White Cake Mix
15 oz can of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 tsp cinnamon (you can also use pumpkin pie spice)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts of your choice (I used slivered almonds, YUM)

Preheat oven to 350 F. This recipe should yield about 16 muffins. Line your muffin tin with liners and set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix until combined. You could use your stand mixer, but it is so easy to mix up quickly by hand, don't create the extra dishes for yourself! Well, unless you want to! You will get a thick batter.
Divide mixture into the muffin pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. When a toothpick inserted comes out with no wet batter they are done.

Make sure to cut one in half while still warm and add a pat of butter and drizzle of honey! I might be an expert on this particular muffin!

Enjoy my friends and thank you for stopping by! Make sure to check out the video as well!
