Pumpkin Muffins (No Oil)

What do whole wheat, cinnamon, honey, and pumpkin all have in common? You guessed it! Muffins!

It wouldn’t be “Urban Strawberries” without a muffin post, would it?

I know fall is coming to an end, but we still love pumpkin and cinnamon all year-long. I’ve been making these muffins for a few years now. They are just a snack we haven’t grown tired of.

I really like that there is no oil in this recipe. I’ve alternated using applesauce or greek yogurt instead of oil, and both times loved it. I also switch up my sweeteners. If I use applesauce instead of greek yogurt, then I lessen the sugar or honey. Play around with it and see what your family likes.

Enjoy!
