Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup milled flax seed
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 medium apple, shredded or diced
1/4 cup soymilk
3 tablespoons egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Combine all dry ingredients and all wet ingredients, excluding the pumpkin and apple, in two seperate mixing bowls.
  • Add to the dry ingredients the pumpkin and apple, and mix until combined well.
  • Add the wet ingredients to this mixture.
  • Spray with cooking spray your muffin pan or loaf pan, and bake for 30 minutes at 350, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Note that these don't rise much and stay a relatively dark color; they are a moist muffin.
  • Additional Notes: May be beneficial to use half whole wheat flour and half white or all purpose, so they rise more/are a bit lighter. They taste great but aren't the prettiest things ;-) I ended up dividing the batter between three mini loaf "pans" instead of muffins, but it should make about 12 medium sized muffins.

These muffins are so good! They're the perfect combination of pumpkin and apple. I love the streusel topping. It adds a nice crunch.

Overall, I thought these muffins were pretty good. They're easy to make and they have a nice flavor. However, I think they could be improved with a few tweaks.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my muffins turned out really dense and gummy. Not sure what went wrong. Maybe I overmixed the batter?

These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a good flavor. I think I'll try adding a little more moisture next time, maybe some applesauce or yogurt.
