I totally agree with herewegoagain!  I made these with leftover macaroni instead of pumpkin and cooked them about twenty minutes longer than called for and they just tasted like burnt pasta--not like pumpkin bread at all!!!  I thought maybe the frosting would cover up the burnt taste, so I made I made it with maple syrup instead of cream cheese.  Blech!!!  The whole thing ended up tasting like blackened rye pancakes.  Not something I want to serve to my family if I want them to still love me!  I will NOT make this recipe again!!!!  It should be banned from this site!

The streusel seems a little to moist and the cupcakes are stuck to the papers and fall apart. these were really fussy for something that tastes exactly like pumpkin bread. I won't make them again.

These taste great, but it was really fussy for something that tastes just like pumpkin bread. I don't think I will make them again.
