From "The Old Farmer's Almanac Comfort Food"



List of Ingredients



• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  
• ½ tsp salt
  
• ½ tsp cinnamon
  
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
  
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
  
• 2 eggs
  
• ¾ cup milk
  
• ¼ cup melted shortening
  
• ½ cup mashed pumpkin
  
• ½ cup Grape-Nuts breakfast cereal
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper baking cups.
   
   
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, and spices. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and shortening. Beat briefly to blend. Stir in the pumpkin and Grape-Nuts. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients all at once, stirring only until the flour is moistened.
   
   
3. Fill the prepared muffin cups two-thirds full and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
