Ww Pumpkin Spice Muffins
"This is an adaptation of recipe 71732 to lower calories, fat and, of course, WW points. I entered all of the ingredients that had points into recipe builder and came up with 2 points per muffin when 25 muffins are made. These muffins are moist and are bursting with flavor. This is a very hearty snack or breakfast. I eat mine for breakfast with a banana"

- Yields:
-
25 muffins
- Serves:
- 25
ingredients
- 2 cups canned pumpkin
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup Splenda sugar substitute (optional..the original recipe called for 3 cups sugar. I like these just fine with 2 cups of sugar)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg
- 3 egg whites
- 2 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large mixing bowl combine pumpkin, water, sugar, splenda (if using), applesauce, egg and egg whites.
- Beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
- In a separate bowl combine both flours, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and stir until combined. (I like to use a pastry cutter so make sure the baking soda and powder are evenly distributed).
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, beating until smooth.
- Spray muffin pan cups very well with Pam. You can use cupcake papers but the muffins tend to stick to it.
- Measure 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup. There will be 1/3 cup left over for the 25th muffin. I usually toss it rather than bake one muffin.
- Bake for 20-25 min or until toothpick inserted into center of cupcakes comes out clean.
- Tap on bottom of pan to dislodge muffins.
- ENJOY!

Because I had only 2 eggs left and had another recipe to make today which also called for 1 egg...I only made a 1/4th recipe. (Got 7 nice sized muffins) Oh my, these are wonderful in flavor and texture. They almost tasted like cupcakes. i will definitely make them again. Made for Spring PAC 2010. -
These were great! I made only 24 muffins and I don't think that will up the points value. I brought them into work this morning for my co - workers and brought in fresh cinnamon honey butter to go on top. There are only a few left and they got top compliments! Thanks for posting! These were really enjoyed! :) Made for PAC Spring 2010!
