I'm not a big fan of molasses so I added maple syrup. The orange zest added some great flavor. I will definitely make these again.
Wow! These muffins are great! My husband and I really enjoyed the hint of orange and molasses, and we both agreed that this is our new favorite. I added 1/4 c. cinnamon chips to the batter and sprinkled a few more over the streusel before baking, which I will definitely do again.
Delicious! I made these muffins just as written and will definitely make them often. Not as dense as my other muffins recipes, due to less pumpkin.
These were really good. I did omit the orange zest and I added a maple cream cheese filling. AMAZING........................
Excellent recipe. This is exactly what I am looking for. Perfect amount of sweetness. Friends and family loved them. It?s definitely a keeper.
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!
Everyone in my family loves these muffins!
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
