Elise,
Yes! It’s the best – just make sure your pumpkin isn’t too watery… Katie

Can I use frozen pumpkin puree for these? I cooked up a few pumpkins in October and froze the puree.

These were sooo good!! I will def. be keeping this recipe! Thanks! I did notice that they were completely done after 30 minutes though!! I also think next time I will add chopped walnuts and cranberries!!! They def. don’t need it–but I think it would add a whole other dimension for the mouth!!!

Charlotte,
I’m so happy to hear that! Your comment makes me want to go make some more, maybe with applesauce. Yummy. Katie

Katie, these are wonderful! I tried to convert my muffin recipes to soaked, and it never worked. I had no idea they needed baking soda to help! These are delicious as pumpkin, and this morning we had them with banana instead. Even better, I’m inclined to say! Really moist and sweet (with only 1/3 cup succonat!), better than my old standby banana muffin recipe. I tried them as applesauce muffins last month, after we picked 50 lbs of apples and made tons of sauce. They were scrumptious as well! A great versatile recipe.

Keala,
I did add leavening, but that’s reflected in the recipe (updated the post). Sometimes soaked things just flop for me – this recipe has generated some concave banana muffins – but lately the pumpkin ones have been great. ??? I hope it works for you next time! katie

The flower and butter milk soaked batch turned out just fine. It was really moist. It was the other way that didn’t work for me. I will try mixing it really well. Did you add more baking soda or powder to your recipe? In an earlier comment i thought you said you put more leavening in.??

I have my first batch of these soaking for breakfast in the morning. We love all things pumpkin so I am super excited to see how these turn out! I soak a lot of things but have never tried soaked muffins/quick breads so I hope it works for me.

Kirstie and Keala,
Hmmm, and I just had some of the best soaked muffins ever this fall I do think getting things mixed well helps a lot. Keala, I would think that just the flour and buttermilk would make a difference, as it’s almost too doughy and not moist enough to mix with the rest of the stuff, isn’t it? Sad that you guys had sunken muffins! Katie
