Pumpkin Spice Muffins

 

The cooler mornings and evenings are here.  The grocery stores are FINALLY carrying cans of pumpkin.  Time to whip up a batch of these guys:

 

Pumpkin Spice Muffins:

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 ground cloves

2 eggs

1/2 cup canola oil

3/4 can of pumpkin puree

1/3 cupwarm water

 

Topping:

1/2 cups oats

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp cinnamon

3 tbsp unsalted butter

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

 

Mix together flour, baking soda, salt, spices, and baking powder in a bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, water, and canola oil.  Combine wet and dry ingredients together. 

 

Fill the muffin tins till they are about 3/4 of the way full. 

 

For the topping: mix the ingredients together.  Top each muffin with the a handful of the mixture. 

 

Bake muffins for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 

 

 Best when they are warm with a cold glass of milk.

 

Enjoy!  LFT
