Last week I went to visit my son, Brandon, in Utah. His wife, Tricia, made these delicious pumpkin muffins. I couldn't stop eating them. Tricia cooks really healthy and she made the muffins using whole wheat flour, olive oil, real maple syrup and honey. Here's the recipe. I know your family is going to like these and they are healthy for you!
