Pumpkin Muffins

It’s that time of year for holiday parties and goodies galore.  Try out these pumpkin muffins that won’t completely trash your nutrition.  As always remember moderation though 🙂

Ingredients

• 1.5 C whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 C brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 C canned pumpkin
• 1/2 C raisins
• 1/4 C nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
• 1/4 C unsweetened applesauce
• 2 egg whites

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. In two separate bowls, mix dry, then wet ingredients, and then combine, adding wet to dry and stirring gently until the mixture is uniform. Spoon the mixture into a non-stick muffin tray and sprinkle some raw oats on top. Pop them in the oven for about 25 minutes and do a fork check near the end to test done-ness. These nutritious muffins have a great flavor, the perfect amount of sweetness, and a nice, soft texture while still being a healthy alternative to sugar drenched muffins and cupcakes.
