After reading the great reviews this recipe received, I was very disappointed with the way mine came out. I followed the recipe exactly but the taste was just okay and the texture was too dense for my liking.

This is one of the best muffin recipes I've found. They are so simple to make and came out perfect. I did not want to make 36 servings, so I did the recalculation for 12 servings and then followed the advice of some of the other reviewers by replacing some of the white flour with whole wheat (1 cup whole wheat and 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp AP). I also added 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil and then replaced the nuts and raisins with chocolate chips to make them appealing to my little ones. Because I knew I wanted to use chocolate chips, I also cut the sugar down to 3/4 cups. My toddler enjoyed mixing the ingredients and filling the muffin tins, and we had a lovely tea party when the muffins were done cooling. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Also, with my modifications, I determined that each muffin has about 200 calories--would be quite a bit lower without the chocolate chips, but they were so tasty that even my husband enjoyed these and he is not a huge fan of muffins.

Awesomely good. Roni and I both loved them. I used a cup of sugar and 2/3 c. brown sugar and split the flour with wheat and white. This recipe would be good with coconut and craisins also.

Maybe I did something wrong but I was not impressed with these, I found them very sticky the next day. I followed recipe and found them quite sweet, maybe give them a 2nd go and cut back on the sugar the 2nd time.

These are great! I slightly modified by using 2c white sugar and 1c brown sugar and they were still very sweet, and also using 2c whole wheat flour, 1c all-purpose, and 1/2 oat bran and they had a nice texture! Does not taste like a bland low-fat food, thanks for the recipe!

These are only a four because they're a little thick and not what I expected but these muffins are still good. I topped the muffins with a cream cheese frosting and that makes them taste 5 stars. I might make these again and play with ing. to see if they won't turn out so dense.

Wonderful recipe! Great for breakfast AND dessert. I used slightly less sugar than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty sweet. Thanks for sharing! Also - I added a small amount of cream cheese filling to some of the muffins, and a cream cheese glaze to some of the others. I used 1 (8 ounce) package of fat free cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar, mixed until soft and creamy, and added a teaspoon or so in the middle of the muffins before baking. Then I added several tablespoons of powdered sugar to the rest of the mixture that was left, and used that as a glaze after the muffins were baked (for people with a serious sweet tooth!).

Very good. Super moist and just the right amount of spice. I left out the raisins and walnuts because my boyfriend doesn't care for either and they were still very flavourful. Will make again!

Very flavorful and nice texture.

These pumkin muffins are delicious! MODIFICATIONS: -Whole wheat flour instead of white -3 cups brown sugar, one cup white sugar -No walnuts Next time, I will cut the portion of cloves & nutmeg in half, the muffins were WAY too spicy for me. Enjoy! Replacing some of the ingredients makes it a healthy snack. Enjoy it with some apples on the side!

WOW! they just cooled enough for me to taste. i'm impressed! they rose nicely and are very tender and tasty! i made a batch of lowfat oat muffins and they were nothing compared to these! i was hesitant about baking these muffins because of the 4 cups of sugar but realized that it makes a large amount of muffins. like other members i made a few variations, 3 cups all purpose flour (all i had left) and 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour, half/half white and brown sugar, i roasted some raw pumpkin seeds for the nuts (that was fun - they puff up), used golden raisins (loved the soaking tip) and only 1/2 t of ground cloves because i'm not a clove fan (will omit completely next time). the addition of the pumpkin seeds made these taste like they were from a gourmet coffee shop. fancy schmancy! MIDNITEJASMINE, thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Even family who doesn't like like pumpkin, took home a half dozen muffins. Made 32 for me. My husband doesn't like cloves so if you fall in that category, leave it out. I like it with it.

I also cut this recipe in half. I have tweaked it so many times I forgot the original! I use all whole wheat PASTRY flour, extra cinn. & cloves, add some ground flax and sometimes bran. They are so much better for you than most muffins, and they taste so good. An all time favorite.

Super good. I use wheat flour, no nuts, and sometimes dried cranberries. ALSO: You can easily cut the sugar by an entire cup. Repeat TOO sweet with complete sugar. This also makes it a bit healthier. I make it in bread pans for some nice fall loaves.

Very good healthy snack. My kids loved them!!! I only used 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of maple syrup. Really trying to make them as healthy as possible. Also, used whole wheat unprocessed unbleached flour. Really yummy recipe. Great tip to soak the raisans. Don't know why I never thought of that before. My daughter who supposedly hates raisans loved them in these muffins. Also, just used nonstick muffin tin instead of paper liners. Thanks for a great alternative to cake,cookies and whole fat muffins!!!!

Great! I used 3 cups whole-wheat flour and a mix of whole grain oatmeal and flax seed for the rest. You could never tell that I didn't use any white flour! I also cut the sugar by about a cup, but with the chocolate chips I added, I could have cut about another cup out. I did add extra spices - but might cut down on the cloves next time. I will make these many more times.

This recipe is a definite 'keeper'! No one notices that there is NO butter or oil like in regular muffins. They're moist & chewy and absolutely 'addictive'! I used dried cranberries instead of raisins and used mini muffin pans and most of the recipe and then froze them in a single layer in ziploc baggies (gallon size). Awesome!
