I want to thank the poster who provided the recipe. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes a year ago. In large part because of alternatives to wheat flour I lost 40 lbs and I am able to keep my all 'readings' (blood glucose, cholesterol, etc) in the normal range for healthy people without medication. I found a white bean pancake recipe - didn't translate well in my attempt at a white bean muffin - they're good with sugar free jam. There are wonderful black bean brownie recipes. My favorite calls for flour & black beans so I use almond flour. Although more versatile than beans, almond flour is 6 to 12 times the cost of a can of beans. Beans provide better nutrition too. I'll be hunting for more Bean Queen recipes. Thanks again. Chris

Where is the pumpkin in this recipe? Seems to be missing. How much should be added to make this as PUMPKIN Spice Walnut White Bean Muffins?

Connie, I get your question but this is Pumpkin Spice with White Beans not Pumpkin. My batch came out great today! I'd say the reason the recipe works is pumpkin and white beans absorb the spice flavors. Just like wheat flour - they don't have much flavor on their own. I followed the recipe but used cottage cheese, a different sugar substitute & I like cloves so I added a dash. I got 10 muffins... Chris
