This is a delicious pumpkin muffin that is very moist, with pumpkin seeds mixed into the batter. A great twist on pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin seeds are also very good sprinkled on top of the muffins before baking. I also add about two tablespoons of flax seed meal when making the recipe. If the batter seems too thick, more applesauce can be added to achieve the desired consistency.

Ingredients

2 cups pumpkin puree
2 cups white sugar
0.67 cups applesauce
0.33 cups safflower oil

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line 3 muffin pans.

Mix pumpkin, sugar, applesauce, oil, and eggs together in a bowl until well blended; fold in pumpkin seeds. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
