Healthy Whole Wheat Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.67 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 0.5 cup applesauce
• 0.5 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
• 0.33 cup white sugar
• 0.33 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup canola oil
• 0.25 cup golden raisins
• 0.25 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or using paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until thoroughly combined. Set the mixture aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, applesauce, pumpkin, eggs, white sugar, buttermilk, and oil until well blended. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in raisins and pecans. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the muffin tops spring back when lightly touched or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
