½ cup applesauce
½ cup canned pumpkin
⅓ cup buttermilk

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup golden raisins (optional)
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line the cups with paper muffin liners. 2. 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. 3. 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your muffins a more vibrant flavor and color. 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 the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
