I had previously used 1\/3 of a can of pumpkin making pumpkin pancakes and had leftover pumpkin to use. Made half this recipe and it made exactly 12 muffins. I agree with the other reviewer, make the full amount of praline topping because you can put a big spoonful on top of each of the 12 muffins and use it all up and it's delicious. I also agree that while they are delicious, not too sweet but just sweet enough, they could use some sort of extra \"pumpkin spice\" kick. I may try adding pumpkin pie spice or allspice next time I make the recipe to see if that sends it over the top. But regardless, even making the recipe exactly as shown it's a 4 or 5-star recipe. Everyone who ate them raved about them, and the moisture in each muffin is incredible.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2012-11-18","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Xena7751"},"reviewBody":"These are so moist and yummy.
