Pumpkin muffins are everything I love about Fall baking.
Moist, delicious and rich flavor with a hint of spice.
We’ve got our long pants out and the sweaters are ready – it must be Fall.
While I love pumpkin any time of year, there is something about pumpkin in the Fall that just speaks perfection.
If you are making these for school lunches just omit the pecans and you have a nut-free muffin your kids will love as much as you do.
While the caramel topping appears rich it is not too sweet making it the ideal combination with the moist pumpkin muffin. I love them with a big mug of tea – perfect for a cool Fall day. Looking for a cake? Try our Pumpkin Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing.
