In a few days, white girls will begin their three month celebration, roughly from mid September until mid December, of their high holidays. Festivities include apple picking, drinking pumpkin spice lattes, and drinking the blood of their enemies, all while wearing Ugg boots and an over sized sweater.
The high holidays are the most important part of the year to white girls such as myself, but I have a confession: I’m not a fan of pumpkin spice lattes. Maybe I’m just not festive enough, a humbug, but they taste more like sugar and artificial flavor than pumpkin.
BUT, I do like to celebrate the season with pumpkin treats, and my all time favorite are these pumpkin muffins. They’re moist, spicy, and (most importantly) super pumpkiny, definitely pumpkiny enough to convince that cute white girl with the high ponytail to be your girlfriend!*
Even if you don’t have your eye on a pretty little lady in Uggs, you can use these to win over the white woman whom you cut in line at Starbucks last week (you are most definitely her enemy after such an incident and most atone for your sins to avoid any unwanted blood loss.) or simply satisfy your inner white woman. Either way, these muffins are a win-win.
