These nicely spiced muffins are a great accompaniment to any meal - or try them for breakfast, dessert or a snack. The pumpkin flavor is complemented by a sweet brown sugar topping. You'll never know they're made with egg substitute. -Connie Pietila, Atlantic Mine, Michigan

This recipe is great. Everyone who had a taste of it, keeps asking for more.

Made these for my family because I had extra pumpkin in the refrigerator. I over beat them by accident, instead of hand mixing them, but they were still a big hit! Also, I had a lot of left over topping, so I'm going to half that next time. Very good overall! Will make again most likely

Best pumpkin muffin recipe I've ever made! Not only best tasting, but not too dense and heavy. I did prepare it in the quick bread method (combine dry ingredients, combine wet ingredients including melted butter, and stir the wet into the dry ingrendients). I also added a handful of chopped walnuts to the batter.

Wow..these are so good!! They tasted even better the next day. Moist and flavorful I did use a full tsp of pumpkin pie spice and subbed a cup of whole wheat pastry flour (for extra fiber). Love the streusel on top! These are excellent and going in my keeper file!

This are divine!!!! I tasted one this morning fresh from the oven...YYUUUMJMMMM!!!

I did make a couple substitutions based on what I had...I used just plain fat free milk instead of buttermilk and I didn't have an orange, so I used just a smidge of orange extract (use lightly, because extracts are very strong!). Even with these changes, they were amazing! I will definately be making these again!!!!!

this recipe was a big hit. I used my own pumpkin from my garden and these were easy to make and my family loved them

when and where does the egg substitute come in? I don't see it in the recipe.

These are one of my favorite pumpkin muffin recipes. The molasses and orange are wonderful components of flavor and the buttermilk makes it tender like an old fashioned muffin.
