This time of year we just want to put pumpkin in everything.  These muffins are a healthier alternative to regular muffins because they are lower in sugar and have lots of fiber from the oats.  They are great for breakfast on those cold fall mornings.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cans pumpkin puree

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup STAR Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil

1/2 cup water

4 eggs

2 cups flour

1 cup rolled oats

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins

Directions

Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease and flour muffin tins, or use paper liners.

In large mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients except raisins, blend until just combined. Try not over mix. Stir in raisins. Fill prepared muffin tins three fourths full.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until muffins test done. Cool in pan or on a wire rack.
