Whole Wheat- Masa Pumpkin Muffins
I don’t bake often because all the recipes I find are usually filled with sugar and/or oil; both of which make me cringe at thinking about putting all of that in 12 little muffins. I was thinking yesterday what can I do to make a yummy baked good without all the sugar and oil and I came up with these yummy little things.
For these muffins I used pumpkin puree instead of oil and I used a little bit of agave nectar to add a touch of sweetness.
