  1. I've made these MANY times now and they are, bar none, our favorite muffin recipe. The only changes I make are: using 1 1/2 cups sugar (3/4 cup brown and 3/4 cup regular); doubling the streusel topping (my husband's favorite part); using olive oil instead of veggie oil; doubling the spices. I have found that doubling the spices and using some brown sugar adds a richness to these muffins. Baking them a second longer than 35 minutes tends to make them a bit overdone and stick to the pan. They are even better 2 or 3 days later...after they have been incubating in a tupperware for awhile, it makes them even more moist and yummified. I only wish I could take credit for this recipe myself when I give them away to people, but alas, I cannot tell a lie and I tell them where I got the recipe, hee hee. Thanks! :)
     
  2. This is my new favorite muffin recipe! I replaced one cup of flour with whole wheat, and about 2/3 of the oil with apple butter. It worked great and cut some calories and fat, added some fiber. Thanks!
     
  3. These are amazing muffins. I've been making these exact muffins for years and everyone loves them! Even my sister who usually turns her nose up at pumpkin! Thanks for adding a great recipe.
     
  4. These muffins were nothing short of excellent.I am making them this weekend for a fund raiser. I also did a batch changing it to one cup of pureed bananas (on the ripe side instead of pumpkin, and cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice, and 2 cups of cut up bananas(slightly on the green side). These were also good.
     
  5. Moist, tasty muffins and they're easy to make. Everybody LOVES them and the chopped apple is marvelous in them.

  2. Yummy! I used both apples and pears since I had some lying around. I also subbed half the oil with applesauce and half the flour with whole wheat. They are pretty sweet, so next time I may try cutting the sugar down (especially with the yummy streusel topping).
     
  3. These turned out great! Instead of 1/2 cup oil, I used 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil to cut down on the fat. My only complaint was that the streusel topping didn't last for all 18 muffins. It only lasted for 12.. Also, I baked them for about 22 minutes and they were done. Wonderful muffins!
