sugar-free pumpkin muffins


courtesy of http://ladonnamobile.wordpress.com/


1 and 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup water
optional:
3/4 cup raisins or miniature semisweet chocolate chips–NOT milk chocolate which is too sugary–but this does add sugar to the recipe, though just a bit.

Mix wet and dry ingredients separately, then mix together until combined. Bake in muffin cups at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

notes: super easy, quick and wholesome recipe. the kids loved these, and i loved that they were so good for them. of course, i like some sugar in my muffins but these are great for the kids. packed them up and froze some of them for a rainy day.
