Although I'd normally use canned pumpkin in a recipe like this, I did manage to salvage a cup of the fresh stuff from another pumpkin recipe I was making (salvaged it before my son made off with the rest of the large pumpkin I had, for dog food, he said)! Anyway, these muffing came together very easily & were wonderfully delicious! Most of 'em were shared with a coffee-&-snack group we attend almost every week, but the recipe is a keeper, & I'll be making 'em again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These muffins are moist, very flavourful and super yummy! I made them for breakkie today and they were so easy to put together that everything was ready in no time. The texture is dense and moist and the raisins melted into the muffins add an extra something. VERY, VERY NICE!!! I made half the recipe and ended up with 10 muffins. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Studentchef! It will definitely be made again in my house. :) Made and reviewed for Potluck Tag Game August 09.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am an Israeli-Canadian who grew up in Montreal Quebec. I love to cook, especially for family and friends, and I love to experiment with recipes and try to do different variations of the same recipe. I did do part of cooking school, but found the place stressful and all the good recipes high in fat and calories, even the good ones. I don't have a fave cookbook, but I eat kosher. I have a dream and that is to own my own B&B one of these days. I also love creative writing, and maybe I like to try make up a recipe of my own and see if I'm good at doing that.
I have to add that I do have some favourite chefs from the Food Network. They are Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian; Micheal Smith from Chef at Home; Jamie Oliver and everything he does; Anna Olson from Sugar; and Chef Gordon Ramsey from Hells' Kitchen and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.
