Gave it 5 stars with my changes; it’s a great base recipie. I used: pancake syrup cuz maple is too expensive; regular canola oil cuz that’s what we have; white flour and 1/3 cup whole wheat; added about 1/4 cup chopped apple and dried cranberries. It’s really good, “healthy…er” and just sweet enough. Took a few tries to get it where the whole family gave it 5 stars.

In reply to elena. I'd start checking for doneness around 10 minutes

If I made these in a mini muffin tin, how would I adjust the bake time?

Very nice healthy pumpkin muffin recipe. Very moist and flavourful as the maple syrup does not mask the flavours like regular sugar. Did some adjustments……no coconut oil on hand so replaced with butter, used half whole wheat and half unbleached white (didn’t have the recommended whole wheat pastry flour and find regular whole wheat too dense), added 1/4 tsp baking powder, chopped dates and walnuts which blended wonderfully with the pumpkin flavour, and some ginger and nutmeg to some of the batch to give it a little more bling. Hubby loved these commenting how wholesome they tasted rather than empty regular muffins. Definitely a keeper recipe and would highly recommend to anyone. Definitely try the dates and walnuts for the added health benefits.

In reply to Janet Tanner-Tremaine. That's so fun! I hope that you find a way to use your volunteer pumpkins! I bet they're fine, just less sweet.

Hello Melissa
Just thought you and your readers may wish to know that dates can be used to sweeten recipes instead of sugar. This recipe sounds really good and will try it soon.
I was pleasantly surprised by all the pumpkin recipes for ripe pumpkins, but my dilemma is that I have 11 pumpkins that were “gifted” to us by some stray pumpkin pips in the compost! Anyway, they were unable to ripen due to our weather turning rather foul with rain and threatening frost so they are sitting on my kitchen counter. I have not cooked any yet, but mentioned to hubby that as the stalks had dried on some that we would be having steamed pumpkin for dinner tonight…

I made these for Thanksgiving today and we think they’re delicious. I did add some raisins as well as semi sweet chocolate chips since they were taking the place of pie this year. Not vegan but fine for vegetarians (me)and old fashioned carnivores (my husband).

Awesome! I was looking for a cupcake recipe for my daughter’s 1 year birthday in October, and thought pumpkin would be cool, and found this! Cannot WAIT to try it !!!
