The pumpkin flavor of these nicely spiced muffins is complemented by a sweet brown-sugar topping. One bath disappears quite quickly.
These muffins are perfect for this time of year. Pumpkins are everywhere! With Halloween and Thanksgiving right around the corner, the aroma that these muffins will fill your kitchen with, serves perfectly for fall.
These muffins taste great for breakfast or as an after school snack. I highly recommend dipping them in a pumpkin spice latte!
Only one word comes to mind when I think of baking these muffins...YUM!
