Savory Rosemary & Sweet Onion Pumpkin Muffins

I’ve made umpteen batches of cranberry pumpkin muffins, but recently I was in the mood for a savory rather than sweet muffin.

I decided on rosemary (I had some leftover from my rosemary & sweet potato soup) that I sauted with a chopped sweet onion and added to the pumpkin batter.

Without the sugar, the muffins came out much lighter (similar to my no-sugar-added chocolate chip banana nut muffins). I usually go fat free, but decided to add just a bit of olive oil for extra richness.

Pumpkin deliciousness! Light, fluffy, savory, with little spots of sweet onion and fragrant rosemary throughout. But don’t take my word for it–try them yourself!
