DELICIOUS! I love pumpkin anything and was eager to try out this recipe. I substituted the chocolate chips with raisins since I feel their texture and earthy taste better compliments the pumpkin and spice flavor. Taking another reviewer's suggestion, I added more spices to this than suggested in the original: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice, all of which this recipe benefits from.
I expected the muffins to be dense since pumpkin puree is extremely heavy and moist. I used my KitchenAid mixer for the wet ingredients and slowly added the dry ingredients to the wet... I think this made for slightly lighter muffins. My end result was 24 bright orange, spicy-scented muffins that my friends and roommates thoroughly enjoyed. Remember to grease the muffin tins WELL and use about a 1/3-1/2c of batter per muffin (fill the tin) because your muffins will develop a nice top this way. I can't wait to make this again!
