Nutty Pumpkin Muffins - Recipe

This one is from my recipe box, my mom used to make them in the fall as a snack after school and they are as good as I remember them being.


Side Note: I did sub in 2/3 Splenda for a portion of the sugar, which helped reduce the calories and carbs! They tasted great and were really good this morning for breakfast.
