Cranberry-Pumpkin Muffins
Print This Recipe
Although not "Alaskan" per se, Brenda, Dori and I agree that due to the abundance of berries in Alaska, that this is a good recipe for this section. They are actually low-fat but sweet and delicious. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin
1/4 cup skim Carnation milk, or skim milk
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg white
1 cup cranberries
1 cup chopped nuts, optionalPreheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, allspice and cinnamon. Mix well.
In another bowl add pumpkin, milk, oil, sugar, and egg white. Beat well.
Fold the cup of cranberries (and nuts, if using) into the dry mixture. This helps to keep the berries/nuts from all sinking to the bottom of your muffins. Next, fold the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients, blending only to combine well. Over mixing will cause a "tough" muffin.
Place paper muffin liners into muffin cups and fill 2/3 full. Place in oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.
