Pumpkin Spice Muffins Makes 10 to 12 muffins

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 15-ounce can solid-pack pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add pumpkin, 1/2 cup of water, and raisins. Stir until just mixed. Spoon batter into oil-sprayed muffin cups, filling to just below the tops.
