These muffins are without question the most delicious and moist muffins I have ever made or eaten in my life. Regardless of what other reviewers may say, do NOT alter this recipe in any way. The spices are perfectly balanced, and every ingredient at its stated amount is vital to the success of this recipe.
I would have loved to have made these with fresh pumpkin, however, I have no freaking clue where I'm supposed to find a sugar pumpkin! Even during the Halloween-Thanksgiving season, I cannot find them ANYWHERE. Don't make the mistake of using a yucky jack-o-lantern pumpkin that are plentiful during Halloween. They feed that stuff to cattle for a reason. That said, this recipe is extremely successful using canned pumpkin puree instead. HOWEVER, one standard 15 oz. can will NOT cut it. Use 2 HEAPING CUPS of 100% real pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. Do NOT skimp on the pumpkin puree! It's not just there for flavor; it adds incredible texture and moisture to the recipe.
Also be wary that this recipe makes TWO dozen medium sized muffins. I was astonished that I was able to perfectly fill 24 medium cups without a drop of batter left over.
Top with the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe for absolute bliss. Add some chocolate chips or coconut for something extra special.
THANK YOU, JULIE!
