My house smells like Thanksgiving just exploded, all cause of these Skinny Cinnamon Glazed Pumpkin Muffins. Y’all know I have a thing for the fall. The leaves turning, the crisp air. My ultimate dream is to visit New York on the peak of its summer to autumn transition, stare out my hotel window off 1 Central Park West, marvel at the color below. Listen, there’s nothing better than fall and pumpkin and Thanksgiving. Maybe a few things here or there, but I can’t tell you how much I adore this season. It’s the perfect time to make Skinny Cinnamon Glazed Pumpkin Muffins.
Look, I like pumpkin. I like pumpkin coffee, pumpkin oatmeal, and Skinny Cinnamon Glazed Pumpkin Muffins. I like pumpkin in the morning, pumpkin in the evening, pumpkin in summertime. There’s a reason why it’s a pet name. Because pumpkin is awesome. You don’t call the person you love “kale,” now do you? 
I don’t know about you, but pumpkin gets me in the mood for copper. Check out my favorite copper kitchen equipment:
