Made these wonderful pumpkin muffins today from a recipe from the Internet (joyofbaking.com). I changed the recipe a bit to make it more healthy, ie. applesauce instead of oil. They turned out fantastic and you will love them too!
Healthier Pumpkin Muffins
1 Can Pumkin Puree
2 Eggs
1/2 C. Buttermilk (add 1 tsp. lemon juice to milk and let sit for 5 min)
1/2 C. Unsweetened Applesauce
3/4 C. Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 C. Bran (I use oat bran)
3/4 C. Sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 C. Craisins or Chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the pumkin, eggs, buttermilk, and applesauce together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, bran, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add to wet mixture. Mix well. Add in the crasins or chocolate chips, if desired. Pour batter in muffin tin and Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes. Muffins are done when toothpick comes out clean after poking muffin. Makes 12 muffins. Enjoy the season! Love that pumkin.
