Ingredients

1½ cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup pure pumpkin
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup pepitas optional

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°. Line muffin tins with liners and set aside.
* I like to very lightly spray the inside of the liners to ensure that it does not stick.
In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, light brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a whisk to break up any clumps.
Make a well in the center and add your wet ingredients. Eggs, pumpkin, oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula just until it's combined and no flour pockets remain.
Scoop batter into muffins tins, about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with pepitas if wanted.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. These muffins dome really nicely and they will look done.
Let cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes and then remove the muffins to a cooling rack. Eat warm or at room tmeperature. Store leftovers inside a Ziploc bag. The bag keeps them nice and moist!

Pumpkin : Make sure you are using 100% pure pumpkin NOT the pumpkin pie filling. They are very different but the cans look very similar.
