For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before chopping. Feel free to experiment with different types of squash or nuts. These muffins freeze well. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. A sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top of the muffins before baking adds a lovely crunch and sweetness.
