These look amazing, can't wait to try them! A suggestion for using the remaining pumpkin, if you have a dog or cat, try feeding them some. My cats won't stay out of the kitchen when I'm using pumpkin.
MaryJane, I appreciated your comment above to Stephanie about using silicone muffin cups, but did I read correctly that you still spray them with cooking spray? And if so, how the boy-howdy do you get them clean? I've got silicone stuff that a year and many washes later still has cooking spray on it. Or is it something to just grin-and-bear-it?
Lorena - As Mary Jane said, the light spray on silicone just provides a little more assurance for releasing the muffin. You could spray some and not others and do a "test" bake. Also, some batters may be more prone to sticking and others not. In the test kitchen, we use a canola spray called Everbake Pan Spray (item # 1449). It is wonderful stuff! Elisabeth @ KAF
