This is one of my favorite muffin recipes, it is fairly low in calories, and has a decent amount of protein and fiber.
Pumpkin Praline Muffins
1 3/4 C. whole wheat pastry flour (this adds fiber and flavor and your kids won't notice it's "good" for them)
1/2 C. oatmeal (ground finely)
1/2 C. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 C. skim milk
1 large egg
2/3 C. mashed pumpkin (not the pie filling)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Topping
1 Tbsp. finely chopped pecans
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin pan with liners and then lightly coat with cooking spray.
Mix flour, ground oatmeal, sugar, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.
In a separate bowl mix milk, egg, pumpkin and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just till moistened.
Place batter in prepared pan, filling 3/4 full.
Mix topping ingredients together and sprinkle over muffins.
Bake 15-18 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little
bit, but instead of that, this is great blog.
A great read. I will certainly be back.
