I've tried many pumpkin muffin recipes and this is the one I've been looking for! Moist plenty of pumpkin flavor and a very light and fluffy texture. I used walnuts instead of pecans and used regular milk instead of buttermilk which I didn't have. I also used fresh pumpkin instead of canned out of preference. Finally I didn't have any ground ginger or cloves but the recipe still tasted great! Read More

This recipe was not very good. The muffins were very dry and bland. I halfed the recipe to make twelve muffins but they came out way to small. I would not make it again. Read More

This is a great recipe! I replaced the butter with olive oil and added 1/2 tsp salt. Recipe says it makes 24 but I got 12 large ones. Worked just right. I also used 1/2 whole wheat flour instead of all white and 1/2 brown sugar. I will definitely make these again. Read More

I have to give this recipe five stars hands down. I added some raisins to the batter and baked it in two 9x3 bread pans and baked a tadd longer. It came out wonderful. What a nice fall treat. Thanks! Read More

I loved this recipe. I made it for our Christmas morning breakfast and everyone loved it. I made a few subtle changes: 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of one whole cup of white sugar. I also added a dash of pumpkin pie spice and two whole cloves. AWESOME! Read More

The recipe turned out great. I soaked the flour buttermilk (I used Keifer instead) along with the pumpkin overnight. In the morning I added the remaining items minus the baking powder and only half the amount of sugar. I added the baking soda last. The only problem I had was that the recipe said it was for 24 muffins but I only got half the amount. I assume that it is 24 mini muffins not full size? Read More

This recipe is the best pumpkin recipe yet. Very moist and full of flavor. I just added 1 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp cloves. I also did 1/2 & 1/2 pecans & walnuts. Just wonderful! I will try them next with raisins. Read More
