These coffee shop worthy Coconut Pumpkin Pecan Muffins are a delicious start to any morning. Or an end to any day. The combination of coconut, pecans, and pumpkin is pure autumn.
Add a cup of steaming coffee, tea… or latte, a warm cozy sweater and it’s a match made in heaven.
Or if you’re like me, my favorite novel, a fire in the fireplace, sounds of family echoing through the house, and it’s a perfect fall moment.
Nevertheless, even without those autumnal dreams, these muffins are delicious; perfect to bring to the office, pack in lunches, or serve at your next gathering.
The recipe includes a breakdown of my favorite pumpkin spice combination. Substitute 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice if you prefer.
