Cinnamon Butternut Squash Muffins image

A light and perfect muffin...for snack or breakfast! I try to keep the sugar low in muffin recipes, and I thought these had the perfect sweetness level. And judging by the "mmm" that came from all three of my kids after having a taste, I'd say they were a success!
