Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoons 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
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups skim milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and skim milk. Whisk the wet ingredients until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low fat pumpkin muffins as a healthy snack or alongside your morning coffee!
