Pumpkin Muffins


I made pumpkin muffins this morning - to welcome October. They were low-fat and low-enough calorie that I had two! :)

Pumpkin Muffins
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c skim milk
  • 1 15-oz can pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 c flour
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • cinnamon & spices to taste
beat egg & milk and mix in pumpkin
add dry ingredients and mix
scoop into 12 muffin cups (I used a bit of non-stick spray in a stoneware muffin pan)
bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes

makes 12 muffins
each muffin has:
  • 101 calories
  • 0.4 g fat (0.1 g saturated fat, 0.2 g monounsaturated)
  • 15.6 mg cholesterol
  • 135 mg sodium
  • 5 mg potassium
  • 21.2 total carbs (1.9 g dietary fiber, 10.1 g sugar)
  • 2.8 g protein
  • 24.3% vitamin a
  • 0.8% vitamin c
  • 7.3% calcium
  • 4.3% iron

Kelan pulled a container of whipped topping out of the fridge and put that on his. Then everyone else did. So I looked it up. Turns out 1 Tbsp had only 13 calories and 1 g of fat, so I put a bit on my last bite. YUM! It tasted like pumpkin pie!

(there's no picture, because I didn't think to take one when I first made them, and they didn't last long.... I'll have to make them again soon, so I can get a pic!)
