Pumpkin Muffins


Words can not explain how much I loooove these muffins!!! Thank you, FoodNetwork.com (+some Dad alterations)!

Ingredients

Cooking spray
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk (add another 1/4 cup if needed, can use plain yogurt instead)
1/4 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, oil, and eggs. Whisk in the pumpkin and vanilla. Whisk in flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Whisk just until combined - don't stir too much!

Mix in the pumpkin seeds.

Pour the batter into the muffin pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
