Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup nonfat sour cream
1/3 cup nonfat milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg white
cooking spray
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Make a well in center of mixture.
  • Combine pumpkin and next 6 ingredients (pumpkin through egg white); add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon the batter into 18 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and brown sugar; sprinkle over muffins.
  • Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove muffins from pans immediately; cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow and make a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
