These muffins were pretty good. I like that they are a convenient way to sneak whole grains into my picky two-year old. I changed it up a little...I only used about 2 tbsp. of white sugar and omitted the oil like other posters suggested and replaced it with about 1/4 c. more pumpkin. I also used the lemon juice in the milk suggestion since I didn't have any buttermilk on hand (and have no reason to buy it otherwise). I omitted the nuts/raisins. Although overall I like them, they are a little dry and leave kind of a strange aftertaste, but I think next time I'll add more applesauce and see if that makes them moister.
