  1. These look so good! I wish they sold canned pumpkin puree in Australia - it takes so much longer to make it yourself to add to things.

  19. Yumm I love how giant the muffin tops are! I've tried a recipe for pumpkin millet muffins from the Rebar cookbook but I think I changed too many things in the efforts to make them healthier and they didn't turn out so well. I love the crunch that millet adds!

    ReplyDelete
  37. So when are you going to start a mail order business so I can taste test some of these bad boys?

    ReplyDelete
  38. No lie - if you opened a bakery I would be a regular customer. How in the world do you get your muffins to look like that?! Mine are so tiny and pathetic. :(

    ReplyDelete
  39. Just bookmarked this :D This is the recipe I was actually most excited about lol. They all look sooo good though!

    XOXO

    p.s. I voted for you ;)

  40. I love pumpkin and ginger...they are such a perfect pair! Your muffins turned out beautifully! I wish you could send me one. And I need to start adding more batter to my muffins tins...yours look so large and lovely!

  41. The best part is the tops!! Why are people so afraid of muffintops? Hee hee.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Who eats all these muffins??? do you sell them? give them away?
    When are you opening your bakery already!?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yay! I've been waiting for this recipe!! Do you think a GF baking mix can replace the pastry flour? I've never cooked with millet, but am excited to do so! xoxoxo

    ReplyDelete
  44. i've never had millet before - i bet i would love it, esp. in pumpkin muffin form

    ReplyDelete
  45. I was looking for a pumpkin muffin recipe and I wasn't expecting you to have one! I made these except I didn't use millet or pumpkin seeds (didn't have any!). These are sooo good! The recipe made 24 regular sized muffins and a small loaf of bread! I decided to add dried cranberries to the loaf and I wish I added them to the muffins, too! I glazed the muffins and bread with honey, too! Delicious!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow, yum! I just found your blog. These look amazing!! Cannot wait to try them. I agree with the 1st comment that we need canned pumpkin in Australia! I see so many US recipes that use it and lust after them so much.

  47. You had me at pumpkin--how good would these go with a spiced pumpkin latte!? Drool!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Can't wait to try this recipe. The Market on Millstream occasionally sells the pumpkin millet muffins. since I fell in love many years ago - a bag of millet is in my freezer, that little ancient grain gets thrown into all sorts of my baking!!

  49. These are on my 'muffin to make' list for sure! Looks like they came straight out of the bakery!
