Healthy Pumpkin Spice Muffins


Always wanting to try new healthy muffin recipes, I decided to make pumpkin muffins for the fall season. I searched online for some recipes and modified this one slightly to yield tasty, healthy muffins. Accordingly to the online nutrition facts calculator that I discovered each muffin has 180 calories, 5 g fat and 2 g fiber. Not bad for breakfast! And the best part is that they also taste delicious!

Healthy Pumpkin Spice Muffins
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 C whole wheat flour
2/3 C white flour
1/4 C oil
1/4 fat free vanilla yogurt
1/2 C cold water
1 C canned pumpkin

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

4. Line muffin tins with muffin cups or simply grease.
5. Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full and then bake for 40 minutes.

  2. They are really easy! Just measuring and mixing. The only trick is not to mix the dry and wet ingredients together too much or the muffins will be tough. You should try them!
