Pumpkin Muffins
This is my new most-favorite muffin recipe, partly because the muffins are absolutely delicious, so much so that my family devoured a whole batch in one sitting on the last snow day, and partly because they use a whole can of pumpkin, which is nutritious (and also means I don't have to figure out what to do with the extra). Make them with whole wheat flour. Add nuts or chocolate chips if you want and enjoy.
