Pumpkin Muffin Recipe

I made this recipe last week; it was quick, easy, and the muffins were delicious!!!!  It's  a cooking light recipe!

These spicy pumpkin muffins are good for a quick breakfast on the run or to include in bag lunches. A combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar in the recipe creates a crunchy topping that contrasts with the moist, tender muffins.
