Wish ingredients was still in plain English like 1/2 teaspoon not 0.5.
Too easy to look at it wrong or think one thing and screw up. Guess I am just old school
What are you talking about? It clearly says 1/2 teaspoon.
What I have decided to do is just add 1 oz more of pumpkin from another can making it 16 oz and just double the other ingredients. Too difficult to do the math for 15 oz. 🙂
That sounds perfect!
I misread the recipe.. I used an entire can (I read can rather than cup) in the batter. I have not baked anything yet. How do I adjust the recipe now?
Honestly I don’t know, other than maybe add more flour until you have the correct consistency.
It’s says a cup of pumpkin, I’d that the pumpkin pie filling?
It is not the pumpkin pie mix, it just canned pumpkin.
Very Good! Baked these for a meeting with church family at my home. Everyone really liked them. thank you.
I’m going to try this recipe with gluten free flour and see how it turns out!
I have been searching for a good pumpkin muffin recipe … I love that yours calls for buttermilk. Thank you 🙂
Those muffins look totally delicious! I love all these pumpkin recipes.
What a beautiful muffin Judy!
