As soon as October comes around, we think of pumpkins and squashes. Pumpkin is a winter vegetable packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber and is also low in calories. Pumpkin adds moisture to baked goods and a tasty nutty flavour. These wonderful pumpkin muffins are topped with delicious light maple walnut glaze. This recipe is a must try this fall
