Hi Candy, With the holiday season here I thought this might be a good one. Hope you like it. God bless you, Annette Pumpkin muffins 1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving) 2 cup all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp table salt 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground nutmeg 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 cup canned pumpkin 2/3 cup splenda 1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute 2/3 cup fat-free skim milk Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray. Line with cupcake wrappers if desired. Combine flour, baking powder, salt , baking soda, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Combine applesauce, pumpkin, splenda, egg substitute and milk in a medium bowl; mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture and mix until completely incorporated. Pour batter into muffin tins so each hole is about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Yields 1 muffin per serving. *note* We use both cooking spray and muffin wrappers to prevent any batter from sticking to the top of the pan but you can use a nonstick pan instead, if you prefer. *This is a revised recipe I got from weigh****chers.

Here's another one for you're enjoyment. I have a ton of recipes let me know what kind of stuff you like, I'll most likely have a recipe for it. God bless you, Annette Creamy sweet potato soup* 2 large sweet potatoes 1 1/2 cup canned chicken broth, divided 1 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk 1 Tbsp chopped pecans Preheat oven to 400ºF. Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool. When cool, remove and discard skin; chop potatoes. Combine sweet potatoes and 3/4 cup of broth in a blender or food processor; blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute. Set potato mixture aside. Melt margarine in a medium-size saucepan; stir in flour and ginger, and then add milk. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more and then stir in sweet potato mixture and remaining 3/4 cup of broth. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Pour into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon of pecans. Yields about 1 cup per serving. *notes* For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a dash of curry powder with the flour and ginger. * this recipe came from weigh****chers.
