Pumpkin and Apricot Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose white flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice

  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten

  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin

  • 1/4 cup canola oil (or other low saturated fat oil)

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup non-fat milk

  • 1/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 cup dried apricots (about 6 to 8), chopped

Instructions

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt into a large mixing bowl. In another bowl mix the egg whites, pumpkin, oil, brown sugar, milk, yogurt, vanilla, apricots, and optional nuts. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring as little as possible to incorporate. Divide the mixture among twelve muffins cups that have been greased or sprayed with a cooking spray.
