Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 cups Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Enjoy these muffins plain or serve with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
