Great muffins! My family enjoyed these very much. I think next time I may decrease the molasses a touch and maybe add just a little more sugar. I enjoyed this different take on pumpkin muffins. Thanks so much!

These were very very good and baked out nice and high but needed a lot more sugar (I have a sweet tooth) also I increased the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon, thanks for sharing this great muffin recipe Heather, this was made for kittencalskitchen forum muffin tag event game
