Told you I can’t get enough of pumpkin. This is why I love fall!
Shocker…I still had a bunch of cans leftover from all the other pumpkin recipes I’ve whipped up in the kitchen this season so I decided to make these Saturday morning to go along with my hot chocolate.
No I don’t drink coffee.
We’ve been through this.
I found a recipe that was already fairly healthy, but decided to lighten them up even more by taking the oil out completely and using unsweetened applesauce. I hope you keep this on hand because it really is the greatest substitution in baking PERIOD! I also added Greek yogurt, chopped nuts and some spices to make these muffins delicious and packed full of protein. Perfect way to start your day if you ask me.

These look great! What an awesome Thanksgiving treat!
These look great! I made a similar muffin earlier this fall and froze them so I could have one as a treat for breakfast every now and then. Just finished my last one – I’ll try these next =)
Looks fabulous! I haven’t made pumpkin muffins yet this year! I think i need to make these today!! Awesome recipe!
These look amazing!! and I love applesauce. So much better than regular ol’ oil 🙂
120 calories each?! my-oh-my, this is pretty much genius in my book!
And I agree with the applesauce (and even better when home made)- I recently made a cocoa pumpkin loaf and it was brilliant with it as a substitute for the fat!
I can’t think of a more delicious way to get my whole grains in 😉
I can’t wait to make these! I was wondering, would these work if i used all greek yogurt instead of applesauce? I don’t have any applesauce on hand, and i’ve heard you could use either to substitute for oil. Thank you!
These sound de-lish! And they’re so pretty! 🙂 I love pretty food!
These look great. I’m putting them on the menu for this weekend!
Pumpkin & chestnut are THE ingredients for my sweet fall menu..
I love pumpkin anything! Great recipe!!
These muffins look fab, I love the applesauce and Greek yogurt addition!
When on earth am I going to get to hang out with you?!
These look incredible. I still wish I’d have known you when we were in DC – we could have spent whole weekends eating pumpkin everything and going wine tasting!
Cannot wait to try these! I was just about to declare myself “over” pumpkin but I love whole wheat muffins and your version looks too good to pass up. Trying it this weekend!
I love pumpkin and these do look terrific…and healthy!
love those pumpkin muffins look awrsome
Im bookmarked hope make soon!!
Ive literally been living off of these. Halved the sugar though and subbed in some splenda. Heaven. On. Earth. Even the bf is on a baking kick now! Trying the chocolate banana bread tonight with my no carb isopure whey protein! If its anything like these pumpkin muffies, the recipe will be another keeper!
now i know exactly what to do with my last can of pumpkin! thanks for the recipe 🙂
what is a stand mixer? is that a plug in beater? or kitchen aid? I want to make this recipe correctly!
can you substitute regular sugar for the raw sugar?
