Pumpkin (or Sweet Potato) Muffins

by Brittany on April 16, 2008

More muffins!! These are so yummy…they are just packed with flavor. Mel gave me this recipe and it is one of my favorites. I use the pumpkin instead of mashed sweet potato because it is usually more convenient for me. The topping is delicious and goes great on pumpkin bread too.

These are my husband's absolute favorite muffins ever! I have loved them ever since you made them for Wesley's blessing and have made them several times since. Last time I made them I substituted natural unsweetened applesauce for the oil, to cut down on the fat and calories a bit, and they turned out great. My husband said they tasted just as yummy (and that says a lot), so I was glad.
