- ½ tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- Next add flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice seasoning, and salt and mix with a fork until just incorporated. (be careful not to overmix)
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the batter and divide evenly between muffin tins. Filling muffin cups anywhere from 3/4 full to fully filled. Mine are usually the latter.
