Pumpkin Apple Oatmeal Muffins-- A New Fall Favorite

Hello!!!!!!! Today is a gorgeous day but probably one of the last for a while. Ahh, rain and cold and soup ( I don't like the winter / fall {sarcasm}). I woke up craving pumpkin, which is rather prominent here so I ask Mom if we could make pumpkin muffins for  breakfast. My mom is so good about that kind of thing so she goes to Allrecipes.com and quickly finds a delicious- sounding muffin recipe. My dad hates pumpkin, so we found one with apple, too! We made a few changes and I have to say that this recipe is so good! I am good at cookies, but I have never attempted to make muffins. Houston, trial run was successful. Anyway, I am sharing my good morning with in hopes you have a good one, too!
