Description

These melon muffins are a delightful summer treat! The combination of sweet cantaloupe and crunchy pecan crumble is simply irresistible. I've been making these for years, and they're always a hit at brunch or as a sweet snack. The muffins are moist and flavorful, and the pecan topping adds a wonderful texture. They're perfect for using up extra cantaloupe during the summer months. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for an extra layer of flavor. These are best enjoyed fresh, but they also freeze well for later!
