A healthy spin on a classic pumpkin bread - these muffins make a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (I used white whole-wheat flour)
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup oil (I used coconut oil)
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add muffin liners to muffin tin (or spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray). This recipe makes about 18 muffins.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In the middle of the dry ingredients, make a well (hole) and add in the eggs, oil, honey, molasses and vanilla. Stir together until it is well mixed, but be sure to not over mix.
- Add in the pumpkin puree.
- Scoop batter into each muffin liner until it's about ⅔ full. Bake for about 18 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

You could also add ½ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips if you wanted to.
