Sure, the official start to the fall means wearing sweaters, picking apples, and PSL’s, (or pumpkin cream cold brews, if you’re me) but the number one thing I love about the fall is BAKING! Sharing new recipes with y’all is such a fun part of running this blog. I decided to try my hand at pumpkin chocolate chip muffins yesterday, and I love how they turned out!
They are FULL of fall spices which makes your space smell like all the good things while they’re baking. They’re also perfect for house guests, taking to a friend, or for enjoying yourself! ? Be sure to send me your photos on Instagram if you try this easy recipe – I love seeing what y’all create!!
