EASY PUMPKIN MUFFINS

These muffins are adapted from my popular pumpkin crumb cake muffins and aren't quite as sweet, making them the perfect "anytime" treat during the fall season. You could even add chocolate chips for extra tasty pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. No mixer required!

LUNCHBOX HARVEST MUFFINS



Lunchbox Harvest Muffins image

These diminutive muffins make the rotation at least twice a week in my daughter's lunchbox. Although they are filled with plenty of good-for-you ingredients (whole-wheat flour, olive oil, apple and grated vegetables), they are moist and just sweet enough to ensure that they don't end up coming back home, which is the sad fate of many a salami sandwich.
