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!
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>
