     Anytime I use nut's I like to saute them in a dry skillet till fragrent and lightly toasted.....Chef Jim - 12/27/08

     These were amazing! They were so moist too. I didn't add the nuts or sprinkle sugar on top. I will omit oil and cut sugar in half next time. I did not use organic and I used light yogurt as well. They ended up being not too expensive to make, but it helps when yogurt goes on an amazing sale! - 11/1/08

     These are very tasty! Used Whole wheat flour instead of pastry flour and almonds since DH doesn't care for walnuts. I would make them again, and I want to try them with the walnuts because I am sure they would be great. I think raisins would be good too. My kids even Loved them. A Keeper! - 1/2/08

     I found the texture to be pretty gummy and not at all pleasant. I did not have nuts on hand so maybe that was a problem. For the amount of sugar, I thought they were actually rather bland. If I tried again, I would add extra spices, and definitely remember the nuts. - 5/2/10

     Sounds like a great recipe and I assume you use canned pumpkin. Can't wait to make them since it is pumpkin season and I love muffins, especially when they are minis. I like someone's idea of adding raisins. Why not sprinkle tops with oatmeal? - 10/5/08

     My batch is in the oven and they smell great. I'd like to know how to adjust the calorie count, however, for regular sized muffins. - 11/17/10
