Whole Wheat Pumpkin-Applesauce Muffins image

This is a great recipe for those times when you have half a can of pumpkin left over. The muffins taste great right from the oven, but are even better the next day-if they last that long! Kids love them and it's a good way to sneak fruits, veggies, and fiber into their diets.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
⅔ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup canola oil
½ cup applesauce
½ cup canned pumpkin
⅓ cup buttermilk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
¼ cup golden raisins
¼ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line the cups with paper muffin liners.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice; set aside. Combine the brown sugar, white sugar, oil, applesauce, pumpkin, buttermilk, and beaten eggs and mix until well blended. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the raisins and pecans, if desired.
  • Divide the batter evenly in the prepared muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the muffin pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan.

I didn't have any applesauce, so I used mashed bananas instead. The muffins still turned out great!

These muffins didn't turn out well for me. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I think I'll add some extra applesauce next time.
