Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 cups Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins plain or serve with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
