- What's not to like? Kitchen smells fabulous when baking. Not a sweet muffin, but definitely tasty. Freeze some; 10 are too many to eat before they spoil.

- I thought these were great! I had a terrible time trying to find canned pumpkin though...I went to 3 different stores looking for it! I ended up substituting in unsweetened applesauce. I only had to cook them about 20 minutes and they came out great! Hope my applesauce sub didn't affect the k-count.

- These are tasty but I recommend not using paper cupcake liners, as a good portion of the cupcake sticks to them.

- These are wonderful! Great flavor! They're not sweet, and not what I expected, but I really liked them.

- I loved the pumpkin muffins so I thought I would give these a try. The prep time was shorter than the pumpkin muffins b/c there was no blender necessary. I'll be interested to see how they turn out and hope they calm my sweet tooth!

- Not bad for a quick snack. Could use just a bit more of a sweet taste. The ginger and pumpkin are a nice combo!

- I was excited to try these and I was a little disappointed. The first few were good but I got sick of them pretty quick.

- These are a staple of my k-menu. I always have a container of them in my fridge. They are good for a snack on the run and perfect to hit your K number. Easy to make and delicious. Use a silicone cupcake tin instead of paper wrappers. Double the recipe and keep them in a tupperwear container in the fridge.
