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

YUMMMS.

These were so delicious, the streusel topping was amazing, although I made half without it and stirred in some raisins and they turned out just as great.

Only ingredient I would omit next time would be the orange zest, a little too citrusy for me.

I also made these without the molasses since I did not have any at hand.

Thanks for the recipe!!!

So tender and delicious - I think they are going to be my favorite pumpkin muffin. Use the greater amount of pumpkin pie spice in the recipe - it makes it so much more flavorful (I have made it both ways). Very good!

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!!!!!
