Battle of the Bens (& the Pumpkin Muffins): Part 1

When deciding on music to include in this post (I assume that at least one person enjoys that small addition), my mind went a-wandering, and this is the premise I ended up with:

There are multiple pumpkin muffin recipes.
There are multiple musicians named Ben.
We need to find the best.

First Super-Duo:

Super-Easy Pumpkin Muffins & Ben Kweller

It’s going to be a struggle fitting in all the songs I want to, because this recipe really is amazingly easy.

These are all the ingredients you need: a box of instant cake mix (white or yellow or spice), a can of pumpkin puree (not pie filling).

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners. You could spray the pan, since these did end up sticking to the liners a bit..

Mix the ingredients together (Yes, all of them) in a bowl. If you’re feeling creative, add some cinnamon or something.

Fill your liners as full as you want (the batter won’t rise) and bake for 20-25 minutes. These are pretty dense, so don’t go overboard. Listen to more Ben Kweller and dance while you wait.

20-25 minutes later, it’s time to let them cool and enjoy. Told you, it’s that simple.

Tune in Thursday, October 16 at 10 AM for the next contender:
