So my favorite muffins in world are Mimi's Cafe's! My favorite of their muffins is their Pumpkin Spice Muffins, but we live about 1 hour away from the closest Mimi's. I hate to ask for recipes from resturant chains, but does anyone have a recipe for their Pumpkin Spice Muffins?
This is the closest link I could find on the web...it is the recipe for Mimi's buttermilk spice recipe:

I would try adding a 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of canned pumpkin....if you try it, let me know how it turns out...I LOVE pumpkin myself...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I haven't yet tried it in muffin tins but I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.
