    I had about 1 cup of leftover pumpkin puree after using half of it for my dogs that were having tummy issues. I decided to make these Pumpkin Honey Muffins with the leftovers.

    Just like most other muffin recipes, this one is pretty straightforward to make. The only thing different about this one compared to my other pumpkin muffin recipes is you get to sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of each muffin before baking them. If you don't have my coarse sugar you can leave it out.

    🥜 Nut Allergies

    This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.

    This pumpkin muffin recipe calls for some chopped pecans. If you have a nut allergy or simply don't like pecans you can leave them. This will not alter the overall flavor profile of these delicious muffins.

      I am a great fan of pumpkin. So these muffins were a no brainer to make. I must admit I left the nuts out because my family has allergies, but I must admit I added a handful of raisins. They were delicious and very moist.
