Low Fat Pumpkin Chip Muffins
Sunday, January 25, 2009
A few weeks ago I had a pumpkin chip muffin at a local cafe and loved it! I went searching on the internet for a recipe, which i found on Recipezaar but adapted it to make it healthier :) I woke up this morning and made them! SO GOOD!
Lower Fat Pumpkin Chip Muffins
*Egg Replacer (4 eggs worth)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce (I used homemade)
1/2 cup oil (I used sunflower)
1 small can of pureed pumpkin (14oz)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (other recipe called for white)
3 cups flour
2 tsp each of baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 to 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips (I used one)
Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, then add all other ingredients and stir. Place in muffin tins and bake at 400F for 16-20mins. Makes about 24-30 muffins depending on the size.
*Egg replacer is found at your grocery store in the health food section, it comes in a box and is powdered, usually contains a mixture of starches. The original recipe called for 4 eggs but that would be an extra 20 grams of fat added to your recipe!! YIKES! Egg replacer works really well! You can also use 4 TBSP of cornstarch & 12 tbsp water if you don't have egg replacer, 3/4 cup mashed bananas, or 3/4 cup of silken tofu.
