Really good muffins! If you like your muffins to be really sweet though, you may want to add more sugar or make a cinnamon sugar crumble for the top or drizzle with a cream cheese frosting!

Hi Katy,

Thank you taking the time to share your suggestion - we've modified the recipe and added 1/4 of sugar with the lower calorie option of using just 1/4 as in the original recipe.

When we tested these muffins, we added an extra 1/4 sugar and used pumpkin pie spice and the results were just as we would like them!

I suspect that it all depends upon how sweet your fresh pumpkin is - some years the pumpkin may need a little help.

Happy Baking!

I was hoping for muffin to be a little more sweeter for my morning sweet tooth. I would recommend another quarter cup of sugar if you like your morning sweetness.
