Pumpkin Muffins

Pumpkin contains free-radical fighting carotenes! I made these this wkd and they turned out really good.

1.5 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 c. fat-free milk
1/2 c. canned 100% pure pumpkin
1 T. canola oil

Preheat oven to 375. Coat 12 muffin pan with spray (or use liners). Stir flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt in large mixing bowl. Beat egg in small bowl for 30 seconds until foamy. Add milk, pumpkin and oil. Beat well. Add to flour mixture and stir until moistened. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 15-17 min. until tops spring back when touched. Once muffins are cool, they can be wrapped tightly and put in freezer for up to 2 months. About 125 cal. each. (about 2 WW pts each). This came from Prevention May 07 magazine and i altered it a bit).
