Tuesday Tidbit: What to eat Thanksgiving morning

turkey-cartoon1-285x300

Yikes?!  It’s TWO DAYS until Thanksgiving?  What? Are you all set?  You probably have dinner nailed down by now, but don’t you want something a little special for breakfast?  I made these muffins last weekend and they are the perfect seasonal breakfast item.  And so easy.  And because these are even better the day or two after you bake them, why not get ahead of the game and whip these up tonight or tomorrow, so you can wake up to a delicious homemade treat on Turkey Day? 

Apple Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping (adapted from Allrecipes.com)

2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. light brown sugar
1 T. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. canned pumpkin puree
1/2 c. vegetable oil
3 medium apples, peeled, cored and chopped
 
For Topping:
 2 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. light brown sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
4 t. unsalted butter

 

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease 18 muffin cups or use paper liners.

In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, pumpkin and oil. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; stirring just to moisten. Fold in apples. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping evenly over muffin batter.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

After these cool, store them in an airtight container in the fridge.  Or freeze them.  Whatever you do, warm them slightly before you eat them, and if you like, slather with a little softened butter or whipped cream cheese that’s been sweetened with a little maple syrup.

    I’m going to make them at my mom’s house Thursday morning. They look pretty quick and easy.
    Best wishes for a bounty of great food this Thanksgiving! I give thanks to YOU this holiday. I’ve enjoyed your blog and all your healthful suggestions. My family thanks you too (though they don’t even know it!) but their round tummies have been the beneficiaries of all your sage (pun intended and other herbs and goodies!!) advice and great recipes.
