I love pumpkin muffins, and I wanted to create a version with less fat and calories that still tasted good. These muffins turn out moist and full of flavor!
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
- 4 egg whites
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 cup raisins
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12 cup muffin pans with paper muffin liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves. In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin, white sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, yogurt, egg whites, and egg. Blend the flour mixture into the sugar mixture, alternating with the water, to form a smooth batter. Fold in the raisins. Transfer to the prepared muffin pan.
Bake 16 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
