I know this time of year becomes pumpkin overload and to be perfectly honest I’m not a big fan of a majority of the pumpkin products, but the one item I continually buy and look forward to each year is Trader Joe’s pumpkin bread & muffin mix. Today, i’m sharing three easy breakfast recipes, which all feature the mix and a maple cinnamon yogurt spread.
