Ingredients
1 egg2/3 cup Splenda Granular or equivalent sweetener of your choice1 can (1 3/4 cups) pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix1 tsp vanilla extract2/3 cup nonfat milk1 cup whole wheat flour1/2 cup oat flour1 tsp. baking soda1 tsp. baking powder1/2 tsp. salt1 tsp. cinnamon1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12-serving muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper baking cups and spray insides with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl combine pumpkin, eggs, splenda, vanilla, milk and stir well. Sift in flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Fill prepared muffin cups equally, sprinkle tops with extra cinnamon. Bake 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Added note: if you can't find oat flour then try putting quick cook oats (not instant) in your blender and pulverizing, shaking, pulverizing, shaking the container until it all grinds down to a flour. Should work just fine! Also...be sure to spray your muffin pan or cups with nonstick spray or yes, they will stick.

    These turned out to be easy and tasty. I used my blender to make the oat flour from Quaker Oats (so much less expensive than buying it!) and it worked perfectly. I'm going to try sprinkling a tiny bit of chopped pecans and Splenda brown sugar on top next time. - 3/12/08

    I don't usually like splenda recipes but this one turned out great...will definitely make again. I used 3/4 c. milk, and added 1/4 c. ground flax + 3/4 c. dried cranberries. I processed 3/4 c. oats to make 1/2 c. oat flour. Thanks for the recipe! - 12/16/08

    Whole family likes these. I found I needed about 1 cup milk. added 1/2 cup craisins (dried cranberries) and 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Sprinkled tops with rolled oats. Made 56 mini muffins that contain only 27 calories each. (Making oat flour in blender worked fine.) - 10/20/08

    I added ground flax, oat bran, and a little raw sugar on top. Did not have any pumpkin on hand, but had some cooked sweet potato frozen and they came out perfect! - 9/12/08

    I have made 4 times since Thanksgiving. I have blended old fashioned oats OR used oat bran in place of the oat flour and both worked great. I used honey or agave nectar for the Splenda and cut the milk down by 1/2 and I always add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts AND 2/3 heaping Tbsp grd Flax. MOIST - 12/4/07

    Wonderful! I used oat bran in the place of oat flour (couldn't find it) and also added some ground flax. Next time I'm going to add some dried cranberries or raisins. So tasty!! - 12/21/07

    excellent recipe! I used quaker oats for the oat flour, real sugar instead of splenda, extra cinnamon, added raisins and chopped pecans. Topped with brown sugar. Very moist muffins, keep very well. - 4/29/08

    Very good and easy to make. I added oatmeal on top to give a little color after baking. - 12/7/07

    Hot out of the oven, and very delightful! Moist and low in calories for breakfast. Sprayed the muffin cups, had no problem.

    Will definately make this over and over again. What a treat! - 11/30/07

    I substituted almond meal for the oat flour and added a cup of cranberries! Outstanding and moist. Already had a request to make them as a Christmas gift. - 11/25/07
  • AARRONG
    Fantastic!! I did omit the Splenda as my children would be eating it. I just used 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead (will use less next time as they were still very sweet). I also used egg whites instead of an egg. Very moist muffin and will make this regularly. The kids loved them. - 11/23/07

    Well since I have been having a problem with all the sweets around, I decided to make these and they are wonderful. Added dried cranberries and golden raisins and had one hot out of the oven. Every bit as tasty as that Cyrus Oleary pumpking pie DH had.Thanks for the lovely recipe. - 12/21/08

    Great 1st day of autumn recipe! We added chocolate chips. - 9/22/08
  • JUSTTRYINGTOO
    I made this and it was very good, really moist. I used my coffee grinder [the one I bought for grinding my flax seeds] to grind my rolled oats. The only change I made was a dash of nutmeg. I would make it again. - 7/28/08

    *Oat Flour is found at you health food store*
    These were really good a little dry for me, I might add a bit of apple sauce next time. i also added 1/2 c choc chips to make it kid friendly. Taste was very much like pumpkin pie.mmmmm - 3/5/08
  • ATOMIC431
    This was delicious, like eating pumpkin pie. Next time I hope to try it with mini chocolate chips. - 2/8/08
  • FLUTTEROFSTARS
    These are great and easy to make. They're a little plain for me, though, so next time I'll add a little more splenda or maybe a little sugar free maple syrup. Mmmmm, or mini chocolate chips, nuts, or some sort of fruit... Lots of possibilities! - 2/7/08
  • BASEBALLMOM024
    These were awesome. I added a few dark choco. chips to them which I know upped the calories but they were delicious! They were so moist and the perfect flavor. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so used nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon! Will definately make again. Great Thanksgiving breakfast! Thanks! - 11/22/07
  • PAMELARK
    I just made these in no time at all and they will be just the thing for Thanksgiving Breakfast. The house does smell great. I used soy milk and they came out fine. Yes, so spray the cups, very sticky...But good!! - 11/22/07
  • SPARTY94
    This recipe was wonderful. I made them yesterday and already had one for a snack yesterday and grabbed one for breakfast this morning. I agree the house smelled wonderful and they are very filling! Anyone have trouble with the muffins sticking to the muffin cups?? - 11/12/07
