SPICY PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Hi All,

I always wanted to make muffins spicy instead of sweet , As there is no sweet lovers in my home I have to eat most of sweets so thought of making spicy snacks.

I made this healthy pumpkin muffins only for me :) with no flour .When first time I made pumpkin muffins it was a flop , I didn't fry pumpkin properly so muffins got raw smell.

Then again I tried and got thumps up..

It is so easy and healthy too.
