Holy cow! These are great muffins, and I know muffins! My family all loved them. I used all whole wheat flour in place of white, and used applesauce in place of half the oil. Thanks a lot!

Awesome recipe. I initially tried the recipe exactly as written, and thought it was too sweet. I've made it another 3ish times since (..it's that good!), but with some healthier alternatives: whole-wheat flour, replace oil with applesauce and easily halve the sugar. These never last more than a few days in my house!

This is definitely going to be one of my "staple" recipes! A great way to use your leftover pumpkin, as it only calls for about 1/2 a can. I omitted the topping and made a simple cream cheese frosting, very yummy. This batter made 7 normal sized muffins for me, and I found that the baking time was a bit too long at 25 mins. Next time I'll check them at about 20 mins.
