Great, easy-to-customize recipe! Seems like everyone who makes this changes it to accomodate what they have on hand. Did use half whole wheat and half white flour; and sifted the dry ingredients to create a lighter muffin. Threw a few chocolate chips into the bit of batter to give that a try -- my DH likes those best, while I feel the chocolate overpowers the more delicate pumpkin and banana. Will definately make again. Easy, fast, tasty, what a muffin is all about.

These are really VERY good. The best pumpkin muffins I've tried. I replaced the sugars wih 1 cup of sucanat and 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses and it was more then sweet enough. Used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.

These muffins are soooo good! I made them last night for the first time. I made half of the recipe just as the original and the other half I substitued apple butter for the oil and added 1 can of crushed pineapple. While the original recipe is great as is (I'm actually eating one right now:) ) The one with pineapple is a little more moist and the apple butter adds more spice. Just like the other comments, you can't tell there's whole wheat flour instead of regular. Thank you for this great recipe!!
