Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 optional Nonstick cooking spray or muffin liners
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or spoon. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy these muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature, or freeze for longer storage.
