  1. These muffins were moist, dense, and delicious. I added 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, used 1/2 cup applesauce instead of the oil, and used egg substitute to reduce calories and fat grams. They weren't missed. I was able to fit 7 muffins into my Texas-sized muffin cups. Due to the size, I baked them at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. I am really glad I tried this recipe and I will certainly make this again next time I pick up a can of pumpkin. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. The taste was good and a great way to use up my left over pumpkin. They didn't rise very much and they stuck to the muffin liners like crazy. I'll make this again but I'll grease the muffin tins instead and fill them to the top. Thanks

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
