Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup white flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar or 2 tbsp of Splenda or Stevia for baking
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice (If not available, add an extra tsp of cinnamon)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a muffin tin (12 muffin cups) with paper liners (or grease a non-stick muffin tin with butter).
  • In a bowl, add flours, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and whisk to combine.
  • In another large bowl, add the eggs and whisk. Add the pumpkin puree, canola oil, milk and vanilla and stir with a spoon to combine until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir with a spoon to combine until the batter is smooth.
  • Using the spoon, put the mixture into a muffin tin (it should fill 12 muffin cups to make 12 large muffins).
  • Put the pumpkin muffins in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Test with a toothpick. If it comes out dry, they are done.

Note: If you want to cut out the sugar completely, you can substitute applesauce instead of the brown sugar/sweetener. If you do this, cut out the tbsp of milk and cut the oil down to 1/4 cup.
