Ooh, those look really good. I have some canned pumpkin myself that I was going to use to make pumpkin bread. I might need to make those muffins now...
Sound spectacular! Did you notice you put "all purpose flour" in the struesel topping for these GF muffins? I'm sure it will work just as well with a GF flour mixture (I like Pamela's).
Thanks for catching that. I converted the recipe from a none gluten-free one. I made the changes in the post.
