Perfect Pumpkin Muffins

I am so excited about this recipe. I have always been in love with Paradise Bakery pumpkin muffins and have tried for over a year to find a good recipe for pumpkin muffins. It was never as good as the Paradise muffins, which I am sure are VERY unhealthy. Finally after trying several different things I created a and finally perfected it yesterday. Using the base for Christi's banana bread and then tweaking it I came up with a delicious and relatively healthy muffin!



Ingredients:

1 3/4 C. Whole wheat flour

1 1/2 C. Brown sugar (can substitute honey)

1 tsp. Baking soda

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

1 tsp. Vanilla

1/2 C. Egg beaters

2 C. Pumpkin

1/2 C. Applesauce (I like Cinnamon applesauce)

1 C. Walnuts (coarsely chopped)

1/4 C. Buttermilk



Directions:



Mix dry in ingredients in mixer and then add remainder of ingredients and mix until combined. Scoop generously into muffins tin and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
