Mmm Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin (just the pumpkin, not the pie mix)
• 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters)
• 1/2 cup Splenda (granulated)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
• 1/4 cup dried Craisins, chopped (or regular raisins)
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (in other words, all dry ingredients except for the Craisins or raisins).
3. In a medium bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and vanilla extract (all the wet ingredients). Add this mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended.
4. Slowly sprinkle chopped Craisins or raisins into the batter, making sure they don’t all stick together, and mix to distribute them.
5. Spoon batter evenly into 8 muffin cups.  Cook for 35 minutes at 350^o, let cool, and enjoy!
