Although I'd normally use canned pumpkin in a recipe like this, I did manage to salvage a cup of the fresh stuff from another pumpkin recipe I was making (salvaged it before my son made off with the rest of the large pumpkin I had, for dog food, he said)! Anyway, these muffing came together very easily & were wonderfully delicious! Most of 'em were shared with a coffee-&-snack group we attend almost every week, but the recipe is a keeper, & I'll be making 'em again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These were tasteless and not good at all. I think the amount of pumpkin is off because I could barely taste it. I'm pretty sure the whole batch is going in the garbage because they're not worth the calories. Sorry! Also, the recipe is written rather poorly so it's a bit difficult to follow.

These muffins are moist, very flavourful and super yummy! I made them for breakkie today and they were so easy to put together that everything was ready in no time. The texture is dense and moist and the raisins melted into the muffins add an extra something. VERY, VERY NICE!!! I made half the recipe and ended up with 10 muffins. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Studentchef! It will definitely be made again in my house. :) Made and reviewed for Potluck Tag Game August 09.

These muffins were incredibly tasty. They are very easy to put together. My son has requested that I make them again as soon as possible.

This was a great recipe. These muffins rose higher than any I have made so far. The pumpkin/raisin mix was great. Thanks for a great recipe!
