Pumpkin-Pecan Muffins image

This is a tasty, healthy muffin that both kids and adults will love. I got the recipe from a whole foods cookbook published by La Leche League. The ingredients list looks lengthy because many things are included in both the muffin and the topping so I just have two bowls ready and measure for both at the same time. To give an extra nutritional boost, I cut the oil to 1/4 C and add an extra 1/4 C of pumpkin. They come out very moist.
