Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.
In another medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious, sugar-free pumpkin spice muffins!
