More Rain = More Baking

It’s still raining here today.  If I had not run out of sugar, I would be canning apple jelly today.  I don’t want to waste gas driving to town for one bag of sugar.  However, I did bake up 2 dozen organic pumpkin muffins. 

 
I found a quick recipe on-line, but used ½ cup whole wheat flour with 2 cups of white, used sea salt vs. regular salt, used my farm fresh eggs, and only used 1 cup of organic evaporated cane syrup.  And with all other recipes, I swap out oil with organic or homemade apple sauce.  I did not top mine with the suggested sugar mix either, and they taste wonderful.

I have yet taken the time to make my own pumpkin pie spice, so that is on my "to-do" list.
