I love pumpkins, and I love pear, too. I felt it was a no-brainer to “pair” them. The results — spectacular!

Great recipe!
This is a great recipe. Here are some changes I made to make it healthier. Used almost 2 cups whole wheat flour instead of white, 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup oil, about 3/4 cup sugar, kept most of pear peels on. I also roasted my own pumpkin since in Israel I can't easily find canned pumpkin. I then weighed the pumpkin and used about 1 oz. Lastly, I didn't have pecans so I used slivered almonds. I made 12 muffins and 2 loaf pans. I left the topping off 2 muffins to see how they are without it!
