These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are light on calories, but certainly not on taste – they’re tender, moist, and packed with delicious Fall flavors!
Are you sick of pumpkin recipes yet? No? Okay, that’s good because I have another one for you today! :)
It’s no secret I love pumpkin baked goods. Pumpkin puree keeps things super moist, while adding lots of fiber and vitamins. In this recipe, we’ve got whole wheat flour, egg white, and only two tablespoons of oil (you can make it even lighter by substituting with unsweetened applesauce). This is a lighter, healthier way to satisfy a sweet tooth.
So, grab some pumpkin and whip up these skinny pumpkin muffins as soon as you can. You’ll be glad to have a batch in the freezer for a quick breakfast on the run or an afternooon snack. Hope you love them as much as I do!
