Nothing says fall like the spice trinity of pumpkin, nutmeg and cloves. Light and fluffy, our version of this traditional fall favorite uses applesauce instead of oil. Use either a soup ladle or an ice cream scoop to make the muffins an equal size. To keep the heat evenly distributed in the muffin tin, if you have any unfilled muffin cups, add water to them. We use both cooking spray and muffin wrappers to prevent any batter from sticking to the top of the pan but you can use a nonstick pan instead, if you prefer. You can also freeze the muffins to have on-hand for a quick breakfast or snack.
