Pumpkin feelings...Ginger-spiced Pumpkin Muffins

Here we are, another piece of my "muffinmania". I love Fall with its yellow and red leaves covering the streets like soft carpets and the orange of pumpkins delighting our kitchens and... keeping away vampires during Halloween. In this recipe, the sweet pumpkin pulp is enriched by the intriguing touch of exotic spices, like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, leaving a wonderful natural spicy fragrance all over the house. Here the recipe of these delicious Ginger-spiced Pumpkin Muffins for your autumn breakfast or "good little moments"...^_^
