Pumpkin Granola Muffins

The following conversation may or may not have been between me and myself.

Oh, look! Libby's pumpkin pie mix is on sale for a dollar and it was $2.50!

You don't use the Libby's pumpkin pie recipe. 


But it's only a dollar!

Who want's to eat pumpkin pie now?

I can save it until next year.

Again, you don't use the Libby's recipe.

It says here on the can there are other recipes on their website like pumpkin muffins! Maybe there will be a chocolate pumpkin muffin recipe.


Fine.


 Oh sure, mention chocolate and you cave.

You are only getting four.


Meanie.

  • 1 can (30 oz.) LIBBY'S® Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix

These were yummy.

When asking me if I wanted you to go back and pick up some for me, was that an excuse to justify getting more for you too? ;) I would like to point out this is the same pumpkin pie mix that you were worried I'd accidentally picked up instead of pure pumpkin before Thanksgiving (for making the pumpkin pie). Oh how things change with a sale. :D The muffins were quite tasty though. We've polished them off already.

Maybe.

Pumpkin muffins aren't so bad. Especially with butter.
Now tonight's "feast" does not warrant the same applause.
We wanted to send out a message to the world: "Help. Bring cheeseburgers."
Cracked up all through the foisting of old food.

Haha! That inner monologue you had was hilarious!

Whitney-your comment was very funny too.
