I tried these tonight with help from my 9 year old (the only thing that went wrong was it had 3.5 eggs, not 4, we did a double batch. One of the eggs she cracked went half in the bowl and half on the floor lol) But they turned out amazing, and I am completely in awe that *I* made these!! My husband loves them (he ate four already) thank you for such an easy recipe to follow! I threw in some chocolate chips for fun, but they would still taste fantastic without them.

Another home run, loved 'em! Just made these, reduced the sugar to 1 cup as some others suggested. Another home run, loved ‘em!

Can you say A-M-A-Z-I-N-G??? I could eat all 12 muffins right now!

I did reduce to 1 C sugar because I plan on frosting them with a pumpkin whoopie pie icing, and I also used about half wheat flour (used up what was left). I think these will taste even better than they smell! (For whomever is curious, the filling is just a cream cheese icing with diced crystallized Ginger added at the end.)

And so easy. Used frozen pumpkin from a YEAR ago, 1/2 brown sugar (total 1 cup) and added (at the end) about 1 cup of old dried up raisins (plumped up by pouring boiling water over and letting rest for a while). I do think it's the cinnamon sugar topping that makes the difference here. Yum! And so easy.

Since I'm from Louisiana and have access to it, I put a healthy sanding of cane sugar on the top and it formed the most amazing crunch. Brought them to my coworkers and everyone wanted the recipe. I used light olive oil instead of vegetable oil, but followed the recipe everywhere else. Super moist and not too sweet. Thank you! These came out great and they’re so easy!

Do you know the nutrition information for them? I tried to look on Gourmet Magazine's website and wasn't able to find it. Thank you!

I just made these muffins with my own modifications, I added 1c cooked quinoa, used 2 cups homemade pumpkin puree, use brown sugar, instead of white, 1 tbsp vanilla. I also created my own crumble for the top with almond meal, butter, brown sugar & cinnamon. They are wonderful. Good morning.

I doubled the recipe, which worked well. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I used 1/2 tsp of ginger, 1tsp nutmeg, and I think 2 of cinnamon. You were definitely right about the sugar too! Thanks so much! Everyone has been raving about them! I made these last night for co-workers & a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving and they are amazing! I doubled the recipe, which worked well.
