Pumpkin Muffins

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Combine eggs, sugar, pumpkin, oil, and water in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir to blend. Place batter 3/4 to top of non-stick or lightly oiled muffin tins. You may also use cupcake cups. Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin, comes out clean. Remove from pan, right away.

**Side note: once baked and cooled, we sprinkle with powder sugar **
