For the Youth Fellowship girls night at the church, I volunteered to bake pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Because it's fall, and they're my favorite, and... enough said, right?
The hitch came in though with canned pumpkin puree not being a thing here. Like... how am I supposed to make pumpkin muffins without pumpkin?!
Randomly enough though Julie had been given a massive pumpkin just a couple weeks earlier. She doesn't even like pumpkin, so... what do you do with a pumpkin?
Why, you cut it in half, gut it, bake it, skin it and puree it of course! And presto! Pumpkin muffins! Like no biggy.

| Baking those bad boys |
 |
| Skinning it! |
 |
| Pumpkin Puree! |
 |
| Ta-da!! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins! |
 |
| The real finished product |
Conclusion, why have I never made my own puree before? Never again am I buying the canned stuff!

| Not only were the muffins a success, the girl's night was too! |
I knew you would be able to use your baking skills as a ministry, Jes!! So happy it turned out well. I'm certain the muffins were AMAZING 😍.
