Delicious! I added some additional oatmeal to the topping but otherwise used the recipe as is. I will definitely add this recipe to the keepers list.

I would like to know if I could use fresh pumpkin in this recipe? I will make these and then make them using the idea from Rebecca.

I read the comments from others that have made these muffins. The general consensus was that they were a not dry so I used the whole can of pumpkin. I also used coconut oil instead if regular canola oil. And because of tbe little bit of baking soda that is in the recipe I added a about 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar. I hope this helps them come out moist and fluffy as well as freezable for later use. Ill add a comment once we get them out of the oven and dig in.I omitted the topping

I did not like the flavor and my family did not like it either. Not sure what was off about these, they did seem a bit dense.

I was not impressed with these. My family prefers the pumpkin-apple streusel muffins. They have more flavour and are very moist.

These are really good and moist. The topping is great, too. I made them in the larger muffin tins to get six big ones.

A bit dense on day 2, but that happens to lots of muffins. Really good flavor and definitely hit that seasonal craving :)

Glad I doubled the recipe. Everyone enjoyed these moist, tender and delicious muffins. They are great for breakfast or snack. Definitely I will make this again soon for family gathering.
