Billy's Famous Pumpkin Muffins

This is a recipe I originally found in the paper for "Dormitory Pumpkin Bread" that I altered into muffins. So fluffy and good, everyone who has tried them continues to beg me to make them again. Note: I got a lot of feedback on the odd measurements, so I've updated these to make this recipe more friendly.
