1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoons ginger, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 can pumpkin puree

1/2 cup applesauce

2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons softened butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line or lightly spray 18 muffin cups with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, sift together the flours, 2 cups brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, and applesauce. Add this pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture. Using as few strokes as possible, mix until everything is moistened (lumps are okay). Fold in apples. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, each 2/3 full.

To Make Topping: Use a fork to mix together 2/3 cups brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons softened butter. Lightly sprinkle streusel topping onto each muffin.

Bake for 18 - 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Serve warm.

There are many types of whole wheat flours that are sweeter and lighter than traditional whole wheat. For example, hard white wheat flour creates similar results as all white but is much better for you. There are other choices, too, like kamut flour, spelt flour, oat flour, and teff flour. These are all healthy choices. So explore...discover...and ENJOY!
