    I loved these.. but in place of the eggs I used Egg Beaters and in place of the oil, I just used applesauce... in place of all the spices, I just used pumpkin pie spice. Then I froze all of them and they are holding up beautifully- I will definitely be making these again!! - 3/13/07

    I loved this recipe just the way it is and I don't believe in subbing sugar free unless you are diabetic. I like the real stuff and just eat less:) I will try next time 1/2 the oil and make up the rest with applesauce, I think that would be a little bit healthier. Thanks for the great recipe. - 3/11/09

    Delicious! I made mine in a cake pan and sliced into about 20 slices, which turned out great. I'm going to try using whole wheat flour and apple sauce next time to make them healthier. - 9/18/07

    You can replace the skim milk with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, white whole wheat flour for the flours, 4 T Egg Beaters instead of an xl egg, Splenda instead of sugar, and applesauce instead of oil. 1 slice/muffin= 77 cal, 0.5g fat, 12.6g net carbs, 3g fiber, and 3g protein. - 8/19/09

    I agree that applesauce can be used instead of the oil, and I used whole wheat flour. I was also able to get 18 muffins out of the recipe, so the author must have been using some pretty big muffin tins! Haha! I also threw in some dried cranberries instead of the nuts. - 3/15/07

    Very Good. I would try using Applesauce instead of Oil next time. I also used half white half wheat flour. I will make again. The kids loved them and they were a easy make the night before for breakfast. - 6/4/08

    These are excellent muffins, I didn't have canned pumpkin so I used squash, they where a bit loose compared to other muffin batters, but they turned out so moist and light. Excellent - 10/18/08

    I used cupcake tins and got 23 muffins. It was tasty, but maybe not "healthy" in the strictest sense of the word. I may be trying some of the carrot or applesauce substitutions next, but I've saved this recipe. - 11/26/07

    I made this for a friend to celebrate completing a test. Everyone loved them! Wondered about doing sweetner for sugar, not sure how to substitute. Also I was able to make 13 muffins so wondered what the calories were like. Also I can't tell if they added nuts when making the nutritional info. - 3/21/07

    I haven't tried this recipe yet but plan to. I notice several people said they tasted pretty plain. I always add more spices than called for when I do anything pumpkin. Also, I love cardamon spice in my pumpkin. It is expensive, but worth it. At least a half teaspoon plus. - 12/21/17

    These taste great, however if you are looking for a sweet muffin, this isn't it. They are more like a pumpkin scone in my opinion, but still awesome! I made the recipe exactly as written (although I doubled it because 12 depend to disappear way too quickly). I also used fresh pumpkin puree. - 3/16/15

    These are really pretty good. You just need to remember it is "muffin" not "cupcake". I also should have filled the muffin tins a little more I had leftover batter that I just put in an old pie tin and now I have a giant flat pumpkin pancake. Very good though. - 10/7/12

    I'm confused. These look and smell right but have no flavor! Did I do something wrong? I double checked the recipe. Maybe more sugar and pumpkin. Bummer. - 10/17/11

    I didn't have Allspice or Nutmeg, but I figured it'd still be ok. WRONG. They came out tasting like nothing! They rose well (I only used 1 1/4 tbs of baking powder), were very moist (I used two heaping teaspoons of applesauce instead of oil). I also added a capful of vanilla. Maybe more pumpkin! - 10/17/11

    I added cranberries, but still found them a little dry. I'll try the applesauce substitution next time. But I like the # of calories and they are as good as the Seattle Sutton breads. - 9/9/11

    I like this recipe. They have a lovely, moist texture and not like sawdust as many "healthy" muffin recipes do. I used freshly roasted pumpkin instead of canned and would add more next time to get a stronger pumpkin taste. I also used brown cane sugar for a bit more depth of flavor. - 9/21/10

    These were really good. I subbed flaxseed in for the egg, and light mayo in for the oil. The kids added chocolate chips to "their" half of the batch, and I added raisins to the rest. Delicious and filling! - 1/10/10

    Tried these as wanted something for dessert. Easy to make but would cut the grnd. cloves down. Make again?? Never. Way too many other healthier, LESS fat & cal recipes for the same item. Even in moderation these aren't healthy & no one should eat an entire one. Sorry! No! It's NOT he

    We used to raise pumpkins. I love to bake anything pumpkin. This is much like the pumpkin bread I make.
    I'm glad the recipe posted here is not the same as the one on the email. 398 calories!!!

    The first pumpkin recipe was 395 calories. When I click on it I get a different pumpkin muffin recipe that is low fat. I am glad you changed it. All that oil was unecessary. - 3/11/09

    Our pumpkin crop was great this year, so I have a bunch of homemade puree to use up, so I will definitely try these. I think I will add raisins and use them as breakfast muffins. - 3/11/09
