    Is anyone having trouble finding regular canned pumpkin? All I can find is canned pumpkin pie mix. It is loaded with corn syrup and has 3-4 times more calories! Would love to hear from someone in the Cleveland, OH area as to what food store you found it at. Thanks!

    To Keyer ... we are having the same problem. We were told by our local Giant that there were some bad weather conditions that caused the pumpkin crop to not do well and there is a shortage of canned pumpkin. The only place I have been able to find pumpkin is the health food store (Common Market) and it was over $3 a can!! Good luck ... :smile:

    There was a shortage on pumpkin last year, too. It was hard to find.

    these muffins sound wonderful. just a question, in the OP you said u used an egg substitute. are the food values (like fat) correct for the substitute, or with egg? I just want to make adjustments to what I record if necessary.

    The nutrition facts listed are with using egg substitute. Good question!

    I have a co-worker who makes a pumpkin cake that I love, but I don't know the calories and I have to scrape the cream cheese icing off of it. I wanted to try this recipe for something similar but much healthier. I made it tonight and OH MY GOODNESS!! So good, not as sweet as the co-worker's cake, and more of a muffin texture - this made it even better!!

    I used 1 egg so my nutrition values were slightly different, but I put everything into the my recipe section and voila! I couldn't find my muffin tin either so I had to make a sheet "cake" and cut it into 24 squares (it also had to cook a bit longer). No matter though, I had a piece with homemade vegetable soup tonight and I'm going to have another piece in the morning for breakfast.

    Thanks so much for sharing!!!

    Cook on medium heat, stirring until steaming (NOT boiling)

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pumpkin spice seasoning

    Whisk mixture until frothy

    Pour mixture into mug and add coffee

    Since I won't get out of the house until this weekend (Central PA is flooded!), I'm going to ask.... do these taste anything like Dunkin Donut's Pumpkin Muffins? I've been craving one of theirs, but they're loaded with calories!
