Regarding paper liners VS greasing muffin cups for muffins and cupcakes -

liners are a great convenience; not using liners will allow the cupcakes or muffins to rise higher than using liners would.

Your choice.

Mama, good info. I did not know that not using liners would make them rise higher.

I have them baking right now (without liners) and OMG do they smell good!

They were outrageously delicious! My husband took some into work with him and everyone raved about how good they were. Thanks a million for posting the recipe!

I didn't have any pumpkin pie spice so I substituted the following:

1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice

Looks like a great recipe. I'll be giving it a try. Let you know how it turns out!

Looks delicious! I will be giving this a try.
