Harvest Pumpkin Muffins
These muffins came out so moist, loved the flavor from honey and spices; pumpkin puree let the muffins so moist, and walnuts added some crunchiness and nutty flavor. I used half of the butter and half the olive oil, and the result was outstanding. They are great treat at any time!
