Chai Tea and Pumpkin Muffins



A chilly, rainy afternoon calls for tea and muffins.






After gathering a few ingredients, including some pumpkin puree left over from a
"Spicy Pumpkin Hummus" recipe (yum, by the way), things are rolling in the kitchen!






A short while later, it's time to enjoy warm pumpkin muffins...






and a cup of steaming hot chai tea.






I chose the yellow floral cup and saucer for a bit of autumnal colour.







Care to join me?

    Your pumpkin muffins look like the ones I make. They are delicious, aren't they? A lovely Autumnal teacup to go with the muffin and my all-time favourite tea is Chai! I so enjoyed your post. Thank you for joining me today and I wish you a delightful week.

    Blessings,

    Oh, and I was just thinking what to make from a pumpkin. Thanks for idea!

    By the way, "chai" is how we call all kinds of tea in Russian. When I first time saw this word in English I was pretty surprised :) I thought it was Russian only, oops.

    What a wonderful blog! It covers many things which delight me.

    I love Tchai and I have been making rather a lot of wholemeal-ish kind of muffins lately with apples, hazlenuts, whatevery tickles you fancy, thrown in. So maybe I'll try them wit pumpkin today.
