List of Ingredients




1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or 1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon plus 1/4 tsp each ground ginger and nutmeg)
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup plain, low-fat yogurt (2%)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup finely grated carrots
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, wheat bran, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, yogurt, maple syrup, butter, egg and vanilla. Stir in carrots. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir using a wooden spoon just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips (and walnuts, if using). Batter will be thick.

Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake on middle oven rack for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: Makes 12 muffins.
