These were totally delish! I used fresh pumpkin that I had nuked first in the microwave and then mashed, real sugar and powdered soy milk since I wanted these to be non-dairy. I had two (okay, four) for breakfast, and took two (okay, three) into the office for lunch. I figure this is more of a vegetable than a cake. Who am I kidding, it's cake, but I'll just keep thinking vegetable and that way I can have my cake and eat it too, all day!

These muffins were very good, served them warm for breakfast. I like the idea of powdered milk and splenda, although I only used about half of the splenda. The pumpkin and spices came through very nicely. I froze the left overs so we will enjoy them later in the week. Thanks for sharing a good one Shari2.

This is a very good low fat recipe. My family loved the muffins.

Considering the fact that I don't even really like pumpkin, these were fantastic. I used 1/2 cup of All Whites instead of the eggs, omitted the powdered milk and raisins completely, and used 1/3 cup applesauce instead of the carrots, since I didn't feel like grating any!! It was still pretty good, though -- the spicing was subtle, but still there. Thanks for posting.

These were really good and easy too. I used canned pumpkin and one tbs. of real milk instead of powdered milk and they turned out fine. They were great for breakfast!
