desserts | Nothing says fall like the spice trinity of pumpkin, nutmeg and cloves
Ingredients
1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving) 2 cup all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp table salt 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground nutmeg 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup canned pumpkin 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute 2/3 cup fat-free skim milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray. Line with cupcake wrappers if desired.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt , baking soda, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.
Combine applesauce, pumpkin, sugar, egg substitute and milk in a medium bowl; mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture and mix until completely incorporated.
Pour batter into muffin tins so each hole is about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Yields 1 muffin per serving.
Notes
We use both cooking spray and muffin wrappers to prevent any batter from sticking to the top of the pan but you can use a nonstick pan instead, if you prefer.
