Pumpkin Spice Muffins!

Last night I made these super delicious pumpkin spice muffins, and I've already had two today for breakfast. I can't stop. If you want to make the same ones, it's super easy and doesn't even require a real recipe. Here's how I did it!

1. Go and buy pumpkin muffin mix. I bought Kroger's Pumpkin Quick Bread and Muffin Mix, which can be made into... you guessed it, bread or muffins. You could probably buy pumpkin bread mix and just pop it into a muffin pan instead of a bread pan; I'm pretty sure the recipe is the same, or quite similar!

2. Pour the mix into a big mixing bowl. And here's the trick: before adding any of the wet ingredients (water, oil, eggs), put in some sneaky spices! These are pumpkin spice muffins, after all. I added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves (all ground). It's ultimately up to you how much of each spice you want to add, but I added a bit more cinnamon than the others (a few dashes), a couple dashes of cloves, a dash of ginger, and a dash of nutmeg. It doesn't seem like a lot but it will make the pumpkin muffins taste just like your favorite Starbucks pumpkin spice latte!

3. Follow the instructions on the side of the box. My recipe called for a cup of water (or milk), 1/3 cup of vegetable/canola oil, and 2 eggs. You should probs follow the recipe that goes with your mix though!

4. Bake, eat, and enjoy!

I know this is totally not even a real ~recipe~, as it's just boxed mix with a few spices added in, but who knows, maybe somebody will be glad of the help! I had an issue finding spice cake mix, which I guess becomes pumpkin spice muffins if you add pureed pumpkin, so I just did it my way instead. I'm sure there are a billion different methods for making pumpkin spice muffins out in the world, but hey, here's how I did it! x

Stuff I Want (For Fall)

So there's a bunch of stuff I want for fall. This is not a secret. But hey, why not do a blog post on it since I'm far too brain-dead today for an outfit post? Also I really love looking at other bloggers' wish lists as it makes me want everything they want, in addition to what I originally wanted. Hurray consumerism!

1. ASOS Cross Stretch Bracelet. Really loving crosses and the whole goth thing recently (how unique of me), and this bracelet is cool and has crosses without being too full-on.

2. River Island Tartan Faux Fur Boyfriend Coat. I want this coat more than anything. It's the coolest goddamn coat I have EVER SEEN and I need it in my liiiife! As soon as I get a job I'm saving up for it because seriously.

3. F21 Faux Ostrich Leather Satchel. I love the color and texture of this bag! I tend to treat red-colored things as a neutral, which makes no sense but there you have it, and therefore this bag would go with everything I own.

4. F21 Rhinestone Cross Necklace. I need a cross necklace. 'Nuff said.

5. River Island Black Mid Heel Ankle Boots. They're like Lita lites, which is good because I think Jeffrey Campbell Litas are way too much shoe for me and too often end up looking like hooves. But these are smaller and more every-day, and would fill the hole in my heart that is shaped like a pair of black mid-heeled ankle boots.

6. Pixellated Sunglasses. Saw a pair of these glasses on Molly's instagram and fell in love! They're so geeky. They're not even chic they're just straight-up geeky and I love it.

7. Clinique Chubby Stick in Two Ton Tomato. I will probably end up buying the cheaper version Revlon has going on, but hey a girl can dream.
