Day 20: Bake for a Cause

 I can't believe it has already been 20 days! That has absolutely flown by! For today's Good Human Act, I baked, which is a little rough on me since I just started a 100 day training program to prep for a Spartan Race in February. But I did good and only ate 1 mini muffin so I could stay on track :) It is always nice to have someone to give some treats away to after you bake, so they are not all sitting around the house begging you to eat them. Anyway, a very nice lady I know  has a sick mother and her mom's place of work is having a Craft/Bake Sale starting tomorrow and going through the weekend. Her work is donating a percentage of all profits from the sale to her, they are having a raffle where 100% of the profits will go to her and anything her daughter brings to sell she also gets to keep all of the profits. So, I baked some Pumpkin Stuesel Muffins for her to sell and help her mom out. I used a recipe from my sister's Aunt in Law for pumpkin bread and changed it to muffins and added a struesel topping, turned out really good so I will share the recipe.
