I made this recipe today with a few changes.
Decreased the sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar, decreased baking soda to 1/2 tsp., no salt, and added 1/2 cup dried cranberries, & 1/2 cup finely shredded carrots.
As a member of our house has kidney problems, that is why I decreased sugar, baking powder and no salt. While they did not rise as high as normally expected, they were moist and tasty!

Made these this morning. I used 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda and not quite a half tsp of salt and a 1/4 tsp cloves. I also added mini choc chips. They were delicious and a huge hit for church this morning. I made 2 batches. The only thing that came home was the empty container! Lol

I just made these and they are delicious. I like that the pumpkin and spice isn’t overpowering. It is just right. And the oatmeal gives it just the right amount of texture. My boyfriend is devouring them 🙂

Hi Emgee, I tested these muffins again this morning and actually had my recipe tester in a different state test them again as well. Neither of us had any issues. The muffins baked up great, nice and light, with no baking powder flavor. I also checked on Pinterest where there have been lots of recipe reviews left for this recipe and no one has had this issue either. I am sure I used 1 tablespoon of baking powder! Is there a chance you accidentally used baking soda?

I also tasted strong baking powder flavor; so did my husband who does NOT have a sensitive palate at all! Will try again with a smaller amount of baking powder! I thought I made a mistake so came back to check the recipe. Basically a great recipe though!

Hi Rebecca! What was awful about them? Did they not bake up correctly or was the taste not what you expected? I would love to help figure out what went wrong!

These came out awful! Are you sure 1 TBLS of baking powder is correct??? What a waste of time.

Everything about these is perfect, however the amount of baking powder seems like WAY too much! My husband and I both noticed they taste odd, and a google search says rule of thumb is 1 tsp per cup of flour. He refuses to eat them, I’m destined to somehow remedy this. Disappointed because otherwise they’d be great!
