I've tagged this one!  I like pumpkin and I like oats and all the other ingredients, so how can I go wrong?  Yum!

Thanks! I tagged it! I love pumpkin anything.

this is exactly the recipe i was looking for the other day and i couldnt find it!  I wanted a pumpkin muffin with oats and apples and here it is.  thanks.  i will be trying it tomorrow

This looks good! Thanks! Half the time I try these darn recipes there's always a few steps and/or ingredients MISSING! Heck, not HALF the time, but MOST of the time!

Nice! What sort of size are they?

They are a good size. They don't rise as much as flour based muffins and are very dense and moist.

i'm trying these today - i altered the recipe a little to raise the fiber.  i'll let you know how they turned out - but the batter smells fantastic!

these were wonderful in muffin top tins since they are so dense.  raised beautifually and just enough to make a nice muffin top.  I used the excess batter, altered it a bit and made bars with it too.  I loved this recipe.

Oh cool I'm so glad people are playing with the recipe. That's the best part of cooking. You can be creative with things.

I added a variation of this recipe that calls for adding a cube of fat free cream cheese to the center of the muffin before baking. You can see that here:

Also here is a variation of the recipe with blueberries here:

Wow, we have some creative cooker's on CC.  Those all look fantastic.  I like the one with the cream cheese.

Thanks

Ooooh, Thank you Ninav!

I'm trying the blueberry version this weekend! YEAY!

Cream cheese!  I bet that's good.  I have a block of cream cheese in the freezer that needs to be thawed and used before too long.
