Pumpkin Spice Muffins

I've been doing some experimentation with pureed, canned pumpkin lately and ended up making muffins today - they turned out fantastic, and only 143 calories each (the equivalent of a granola bar).  The great part about these muffins that they come out moist without any need for oil, they cook fast, and you can add anything you want to them (cranberries, raisins, walnuts, pecans, banana, chocolate chips).

1.5 cups whole wheat or white flour

1.5 cups pureed pumpkin

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp nutmeg

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves (optional)

2 tbsp margarine or butter

1 egg

1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1 tsp lemon juice)

Sift dry ingredients well, stir in liquids, mix well.  Spoon into muffin pan, yields 12 servings at 143 calories each, 98% of your daily vitamin A, 8% iron, 4% calcium, and 3% vitamin C.
