"Very yummy muffins courtesy of the can label off of the 365 canned pumpkin. I even substituted egg beaters for the egg, splenda for the sugar and applesauce for the butter and they are still great."

Really good recipe, just went bad after 4 days storage in an airtight container. I might experiment w/ more spices and the ratio of whole wheat to all purpose flour. Thanks for sharing! (I used applesauce)

I love these muffins, here's a few tips to make them better... 1. I add a little (1-2 Tbsp) of apple cider juice. 2. I use fresh pumpkin spice (you can so tell the difference) 3. I add about a handful of or so Cranraisins, it makes the muffins a little sweeter and they go perfectly with the pumpkin and spices.

Agreed - could use a little more spice, but since these were for my 10 month old infants, I was attracted by the low sugar, whole wheat, mild spice aspects. Will use again

I took advice from other reviews and added more sugar and spice. I used !/3 c sugar and added an extra 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground ginger and grated some fresh nutmeg into the mix. The muffins did rise very nicely, after tasting I still wish I had added even more spices. But they are certainly yummy for such a lowfat muffin. I think I will be making them again soon. Thanks.
