Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

I made these Sunday for brunch and they were delicious.  Not too sweet with just the right amount of spice.  Soft and fluffy too.

Spiced Pumpkin Muffins

1 cup flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup milk

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

In a medium bowl mix dry ingredients together and set aside.  In a small bowl mix milk, egg, oil and vanilla.  Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in wet ingredients.  Add pumpkin and stir to combine.  Do not over mix.

Fill lightly oiled muffin tins about 2/3 full of batter.  Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in a preheated 350° oven.  Makes approximately 2 dozen muffins.

These were definitely a hit at our breakfast table.
