Notes
- Make a double batch to use the whole can of pumpkin puree. Muffins freeze well for up to 2 weeks. They make a great grab-and-go breakfast. Pull one out each morning. Reheat in microwave for 1 minute or toaster oven for 5 minutes.
- To make pumpkin bread instead of muffins, coat a 9-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 55–60 minutes.
- Try making banana muffins instead of pumpkin muffins. Use ¾ cup mashed, ripe
banana instead of canned pumpkin. - Instead of using cooking spray, line muffin pan with paper muffin cups if you like.
- Substitute ½ cup nonfat vanilla yogurt for plain yogurt if you like.
