At pumpkin harvest time, these muffins are a favorite at our house. You'll love the spicy taste, plump raisins and crunchy walnuts. They freeze well, too.

Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I just made these muffins and they're wonderful! I didn't add nuts... decreased the water in half and used pumpkin pie spice. Not sure if my spice was old, so I ended up dumping a lot in and it was great. I plan on freezing the last batch. Next time, I'll make mini-muffins.

As I do with all of my muffins, I cut the sugar in half, replaced oil with applesauce and used whole wheat flour. They turned out great! I'm glad I made a double batch to freeze!

revised this a bit - used 3/4 cup white & 1/3 cup brown sugar, reduced the oil to 1/4 cup & used finely chopped pecans instead of the walnuts..... - everyone I share with asks for the recipe!

Excellent muffins.... terrific flavour! I did cut back to 1 1/2 cups sugar and they were still delicous! :)

These were so tasty! They weren't dry, just the right moistness. I used dried currants instead of raisins, but I also considered using craisins in the future. Either way, they are yummy :)

Good texture, but they just did not taste good.

These muffins were delicious and easy!! My kids really liked them too. I used cinnamon chips in part of the batter, and these were very yummy. Will definitely make again:)
