Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

The receipe was great. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla, 1tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of baking soda, an extra 1/2 cup of pumpkin. They were moist and I liked them better the next day, especially after heating them up in the microwave.

Really good recipe. Based on personal preference I added 1 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp of salt. Made these for the office, and they were a big hit. Interestingly most people said they preferred the muffins cold.
