Courtsey of Better Homes & Gardens - . I tweaked this recipe to make it a bit healthier and more to my liking. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup rolled oats |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 beaten eggs or 1 egg substitute |
3/4 cup milk or 3/4 cup soymilk |
3/4 cup canned pumpkin |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup cooking oil or 1/4 cup applesauce |
Directions:
1. Lightly grease twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, lemon peel, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture.
3. In another medium bowl, combine egg, milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, and oil. Add all at once to flour mixture.
4. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full.
6. Sprinkle batter with Streusel Topping.
7. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
8. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
9. Streusel Topping: Stir together 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
