    This is not a sweet muffin - it has the moistness and natural sweetness of pumpkin and is good. If you don't have oat bran (as I don't) ground oatmeal works just fine. I also didn't have vanilla soy milk but substituted skim milk with 2 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 cup of sugar added -seemed to work fin - 1/9/10
