I made them today, with a few adjustments. I need to buy honey, so I used 1 cup brown sugar instead of the 1/2 cup honey, and I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. Also, I don't have pumpkin pie spice, so I substituted the spices for a pumpkin pie, as listed on the can of pumpkin - 1tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ginger, and 1/4 tsp. cloves. I sprinkled the oats on top and added a sprinkling of brown sugar, too.
Next time I want to add raisins. I think raisins would add a lot to these. Also, I'm going to skip the oats on top. Mostly they look pretty but fall off when you move the muffins.
i think you should sprinkle on the top that Oatmeal,brown sugar, butter, pecan, coconut topping we use on the White Gull Inn rice pudding to make it a kinda strusel topping!!! orinstead of raisins add dried cranberries , or crushed pineapple and coconut to the muffins and the oatmeal topping i suggested!!! your friend, Flowerppot
