After last week’s salted caramel apple crisp recipe, all I can think about is dessert. If it has pumpkin, cinnamon, caramel, or apple in the name, I’m ALL about it right now. Maybe it’s the leaves starting to fall from the trees… maybe it’s the tractors in the fields all around us… or maybe it’s waking up to open windows on a chilly morning… either way, I’m feeling all the fall feelings and loving it.

I baked some pumpkin muffins last weekend before the boys had their football games, and they INHALED them. One minute there was a pile of muffins on the plate, and the next minute there were only crumbs and two grinning boys with sugar-covered faces. I took that as a good sign.

These muffins are tender and fluffy with just the right amount of pumpkin and warm cinnamon. They bake up nice and big and then get a crunchy cinnamon sugar coating that takes them from seriously delicious to insanely addicting. You NEED these muffins in your life this fall!

The recipe is pretty simple and straightforward, but I will say that these are best eaten right after baking while the inside is still a little warm and the sugar is still nice and crunchy on the outside. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

xoxo Liz

Author: Liz Fourez
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • For the muffins:
  • 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla

  • Cinnamon sugar coating:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined, making sure not to over-mix. Spoon the muffin mix into the tins about ¾ full. Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. While the muffins are baking, prepare the coating by mixing the sugar and cinnamon together in a small dish. Melt the butter in another small dish. Once the muffins come out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes. Dip them into the melted butter, then into the cinnamon sugar, coating all sides. Serve immediately.

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. 🤍

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was “shiplapped” over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…
