Whole wheat pumpkin muffins

Since fall is right around the corner, I wanted to share one of my favorite pumpkin recipes, whole wheat pumpkin muffins. Oh and be sure to check out Saturday's recipe for firecrackers in case you missed it.

This recipe was given to me by one of my mom's "bunco babes" Marilyn! She made whole wheat chocolate chip muffins a couple years ago at my parent's lakehouse and I have been making them ever since (experimenting with flavors and mix ins). These are easy, healthy and great snacks for on the go.

Ingredients 
2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour 
3 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp salt 
3/4 cup sugar 
1 egg 
1/2 cup milk 
3/4 cup applesauce 
1 can of pumpkin



1. Mix dry ingredients together and set aside
2. Mix all wet ingredients together and add to dry

3. Scoop into lined muffin tin and bake for 23-25 minutes at 400 degrees



Thanks to my new best-money-ever-spent cookie scoop, my hands stayed clean and my muffins looked pretty darn perfect (except for the last 2 invalid ones I made from scraping the bowl with a spatula)

I like these muffins warm with butter and Jon likes his frosted with peanut butter...mmm mmm.

Those look SO yummy and they are whole-wheat to boot! I'll be praying for your co-workers and those affected, Ruthie. That is just so sad...I hope they can get the fire contained to some extent today.
XOXO

Yum! I had my first pumpkin-y treat yesterday. Even though it's still summery outside, it made it feel like fall had officially begun!

so I love me some pumpkin food and drinks - especially in the fall - these look delicious & I will be trying them, but prob will make a loaf of bread instead (I have always done pumpkin bread, and whole wheat just makes it even better)! :)

thanks for the recipe!
