1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Begin by mixing the dry ingredients in a large bowl:


1.5 c whole wheat flour
1.5 c rolled oats
0.75 c light brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
0.5 tsp ginger, ground
0.25 tsp allspice, ground
0.25 tsp nutmeg, ground
1 tsp salt




3. Then in a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients:



1 can pumpkin puree
3 Tbsp canola oil
0.25 c low-fat or non-fat milk
1 whole egg
1 egg white







4. Next, combine the wet and dry ingredients. Fold in 0.5 c dark chocolate chips and 0.5 c chopped walnuts if you desire. 


5. Spoon muffin mixture into a silicon baking mold like this one.



6. Bake for 15 minutes, allow to cool on a cooling rack, and repeat with remaining batter.



7. Package into appropriate portions and freeze! They microwave well if you prefer them to be warm. Try 10-15 seconds on high per mini muffin.
