Multi-grain Pumpkin Muffins- revisited




Our family has been living off of these muffins for weeks now. Each time I make them a little different. I have been trying to see just how much grain I can get away with and how little sugar. I just made these muffins in the above picture with 1/2 the sugar than before and twice the oats. Here is a healthier muffin. Which do you like best?! This makes 2 dozen muffins

In a large bowl whisk:

1 cup pumpkin
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar

Now add and mix:

1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 T baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ginger


Now add and mix:

*1 cup oat flour
chocolate chips

Bake at 400 for 20-22 minutes. I like to use muffin sleeves for fast clean up.

*oat flour is really the easiest grain to fix up. Just throw some rolled oats in a food processor for a minute!
