100% would make again

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 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.

We made these for Christmas but I thought something was missing. I decided to add a diced medium apple to the recipe. They turned out even better. I'm going to make some more tomorrow so I can keep some on hand in the freezer.

These are delicious and great for the holiday season. They freeze very well. I like to freeze them then take them and pack them up for a mid-morning snack right from the freezer - they thaw by the time my stomach is growling!
