Speed Baking

A few weeks ago I was sent Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread Mix from William-Sonoma in a package of Halloween candy from my mama! And so tonight I finally baked them since I'm running low on granola bars for breakfast and muffins are always great. And I have free time tonight while so of course I'm gonna bake.

I used the recipe they had on the side of the packaging for muffins, a slightly different procedure, and they baked for exactly twenty minutes. And they were good. Really good. Moist and pumpkiny with bits of pecan. Shared some with Casey, Claire, Danielle, Zoe, Josh, and good conversation ensued. That's the thing about baking, especially in dorms: people come together.

And now, mornings are going to be that much nicer with a muffin before class.
Also: floor birthdays mean more treats. Casey and I just got chocolate cupcakes made from the Bon. Oh, the Bon...eh. But it's a cupcake and sweet and tasty nonetheless.

So, what we have here are pumpkin muffins for the beginning of November. It's been sunny here and gorgeous with leaves swirling everywhere. It's felt a little like home, but wetter. And it's really nice.
