EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

"These gorgeous muffins are a takeoff on a family favorite, my mom’s pumpkin bread recipe. Because the bread is so fantastic and easy to make, I realized I could easily transform it into muffins and add two of my favorite flavors, sweet and salty pecans and ginger." Laura Lufkin

Using freshly grated nutmeg in these muffins adds great flavor!

These muffins are good, but they are not very sweet. I found that sprinkling w/ cinnamon sugar was necessary. Even some powdered sugar would be good. I probably won't make again because they are labor intensive and the end result is fine, but not great.

I made this for my sister because my family claims not to like pumpkin, but they ended up eating AND really liking them! I did take a couple of shortcuts like using pumpking pie seasoning because it has ginger, cinnamin and nutmet in it. I used 2 tsps of that. And I used Salad Pizzaz PommeCranate Honey Pecan fusion for the topping, it worked great!
