baking fail: whole wheat pumpkin muffins















right, so...I tried to make some healthy and delicious pumpkin muffins last night. i might've gotten the healthy part right, but the delicious part? not so much. the muffins were dry and not sweet enough. but I thought I'd post it anyway, along with a couple of thoughts on how i might improve the recipe for next time.

pumpkin muffins, recipe fail

2.5 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 c. splenda
1 tbsp ground flax
1/2 c. slivered almonds
3/4 c. pumpkin
2 eggs
1-1/4 c. buttermilk
2 tbsp melted margarine

pumpkin muffins, recipe revised

use a whole can of pumpkin
use one c. buttermilk/whole milk and 1/4 c. canola oil
take out flax
add 1/4 c. splenda brown sugar mix
add a couple tsp of vanilla

i'll try these changes and report back.
