1-Gram Fat Pumpkin Spice Muffins (Low Fat)

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"These muffins are a blessing for people restricted to low-fat foods, there is only about 1 gram of fat in each muffin, these muffins do not at all taste low-fat! This recipe will make 36 muffins, so just pop them into the freezer for a fat-free snack or for breakfast! If desired add in chopped nuts although that will add to the fat content, You can use egg beaters in place of eggs and white sugar in place of brown or use half of each."

Excellent recipe! My kids are picky eaters when it comes to "healthier" options for baked goods, and they loved them! I also cut the sugar in half and used a 1/4-1/2 cup of agave nectar as well. I found that 30 mins was a little too long to bake them for. Mine came out perfect at 25 mins. Thanks for posting!

These are very delicious! I made them last night, added chocolate chips to some of them and instead of raisins I used dried cranberries. They are delicious and moist and at 1 g fat how can you go wrong!

I used half whole wheat/white flour, used all applesauce and took out the raisons and topped each with a pinch of cinnamon and 3 chocolate chips instead -- I must say this is a delicious light muffin. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Also, didnt have to cook the full 30 min, more like 20 in my oven!

Delicious. Used a little less sugar, and served straight from the oven with apple butter. Cannot get enough. (Also makes for a filling, grab & go breakfast if you're in a rush...)

I made these for a Church get-together. Everyone loved them, and everyone wanted the recipe. I knew they would be good, b/c I ate one on the way to Church. Wanted to get mine before everybody else. I always sample everything I make before I serve. :) These were wonderful. I will definitely be making these again. Thank you so much for posting Kittencal.
