These tender and flavorful muffins are just as perfect slathered with butter for breakfast as they are for an afternoon treat.

This is a great way to use up any extra puree you may have on hand, and if you want to change things up, you can replace the pumpkin with an antioxidant-packed fall vegetables (think pre-roasted butternut squash or sweet potato) at a 1:1 ratio. While the flavor profile evokes autumn, you can make them any time of the year for a delicious hit of nostalgia.
