Date Nut Pumpkin Muffins

This recipe started out in DeeDee Stovel's Pumpkin: A Super Food for All 12 Months of the Year as pumpkin muffins. Kylie of the blog The Baking Bird used canned butternut squash, but I, of course, used pumpkin. These muffins have many healthy ingredients including pumpkin, dates, nuts and spelt flour. I'm not a big date fan, but they blend in very well. These muffins are quite filling. So filling in fact that the Hub and I decided to have just muffins and hot chocolate for dinner one recent Sunday night.
