Maple Pumpkin Muffins (plant-based)

5 from 5 votes
Every fall, the kids beg for maple pumpkin muffins. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin spice myself, but I’m happy to give them the recipe and the ingredients and let them go for it. Here’s what they made – they all said it tasted great!
For today's inspiration, I am reminded to not impose my judgments (about things like pumpkin spice) on others.
A poem from Plum Village goes like this:
Words can travel thousands of miles.
May my words create mutual understanding and love.
May they be as beautiful as gems, as lovely as flowers.
I don't always achieve this ideal of speaking so beautifully, but it's a wonderful reminder to keep trying. 🙂
