Servings: persons

1 cup solid pack pumpkin (canned)
1 cup skim milk (I used skim plus for extra protein)
1/4 cup melted I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, for baking
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 cup Wheatena
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute, with fiber
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup craisins (sweetened dried cranberries)
1 -3 tablespoon quick oatmeal (optional)
1 -3 tablespoon craisins (optional)
i can't believe it's not butter-flavored cooking spray (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients (pumpkin, milk, egg, butter and syrup) mixing well.
3
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients (flour, Wheatena, sugar, baking powder and salt), I like to use a fork for this.
4
Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until moistened. Stir in 3/4 cup of crasins.
5
Spray 16 medium silicon muffin cups, set on a cookie sheet, with butter flavored baking spray. Spoon mixture into cups, filling each cup about 75% full (or to line if there is one). If desired sprinkle top with oats and additional craisins, then spray tops with the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray (I recommend you do, it makes the muffins much prettier).
6
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This is the baking time if you're using the silicon baking cups, if you're not I would check them at 15 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
