Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins

October 18, 2013

Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins 1

:: Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins ::

Do you have an upcoming school event that that requires you to bring a healthy home made snack?  These Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins are the perfect fall treat.  Loaded with pumpkin flavor these little muffins make for an easy bite sized snack.  Made without nuts and the additive of applesauce and yogurt with a mixture of canned pumpkin these muffins won’t disappoint your little ones.  I know for myself, I often would love to bring in cupcakes for a birthday celebration or fall party, but these muffins were just as fun with half the sugar.  Easy to make and full of pumpkin spice flavor this is sure to be a new healthy fall treat to add to your list.

The creamy vanilla yogurt and chunky applesauce help to keep these muffins moist.  My favorite part has to be the pumpkin and pumpkin spice.  They scream fall.  Add them with a cup of coffee and you have yourself a homey breakfast.  Now if I can only get this wind and heat to let up a little…..perfect on a cold rainy day.  Madeline helped me make these little muffins for her class snack.  She couldn’t wait to share these with her school mates.  All and all I think they were a hit.

    These look fantastic! There’s a nut allergy in my son’s class at school, so these will be a perfect treat to bring in for his class party. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

      Yes exactly Melinda. Both my kids schools have nut allergy policies. In fact they would like us to bring treats that are lower in sugar than cupcakes. I made these for school treat for a in class celebration. Hope you like them.

    These look delicious. Would they be too bland to just use pumpkin purée rather than punkin pie filling?

      I think it would work just fine, Leslie! Maybe just add a bit more sugar or honey. 😉
