3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffin Recipe

Tis the season of the pumpkin. I’m officially obsessed with this 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Muffin Recipe. I love, love, love everything pumpkin and I could eat pumpkin dishes all day long.

For example, Trader Joe’s has their amazing pumpkin Greek Yogurt, pumpkin butter, pumpkin mocha ice cream, and pumpkin cranberry crisps.
