7 Surprising Pumpkin Recipes
Pumpkin muffins
It's a shame that pumpkin is only popular for two months out of the year. This low-calorie vegetable is rich in potassium and loaded with beta-carotene (a powerful antioxidant), and its natural sweetness brings flavor to baked goods without any added guilt.
These tender muffins have a sugary crunch on top and make a perfect low-fat breakfast or snack. Replace up to half the white flour with whole wheat for extra fiber, and/or toss in 1/2 cup of toasted, chopped pecans to add some heart-healthy fats.
