These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. They're also a healthy and delicious snack or breakfast option.

I've tried many pumpkin muffin recipes, but this one is by far the best. The muffins are so moist and fluffy, and the pumpkin flavor is perfect. I also love the addition of the fruit and nuts.
