Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter or margarine, room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ⅔ cup puréed pumpkin
  • ⅔ cup whole wheat flour (all-purpose works fine)
  • ¼ cup cake flour (all-purpose works fine)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice OR ground ginger
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix well. Add vanilla and pumpkin and mix until smooth.
  3. Mix dry ingredients together and add to pumpkin mixture, mixing just until combined.
  4. Spray 4 individual size ramekins with cooking spray and divide batter between them. Bake for 33-35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean from the center. (Alternatively, use a regular or jumbo muffin tin and fill cups about ¾ full).
  5. For an extra treat, add a drizzle of icing – try adding maple syrup or cinnamon or cream cheese to the icing for bonus points :)  Of course, they are also amazing with a healthy dose of melty butter!
