Pumpkin (or Sweet Potato) Muffins

More muffins!! These are so yummy...they are just packed with flavor. Mel gave me this recipe and it is one of my favorites. I use the pumpkin instead of mashed sweet potato because it is usually more convenient for me. The topping is delicious and goes great on pumpkin bread too.
