Pumpkin Muffins

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.These tender muffins have a sugary crunch on top and make a perfect low-fat breakfast or snack.
