Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin

1 cup chopped dates

1/3 cup light brown sugar

3 tablespoons extra-light olive oil

Directions

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line the cups of a standard (11-by-14-1.5 inch) muffin pan with paper liners or coat the cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine first 6 ingredients. Make a well in the center; set aside.

3. In a small bowl, combine remaining 5 ingredients. Pour mixture into well in dry ingredients and stir until mix is just moistened and batter is still slightly lumpy.

4. Pour batter into muffin cups until each is three-quarters full.

5. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until tops are light golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in pan on a rack, then remove from pan to cool completely.

I'm surprised that the recipe calls for all-purpose flour. I would expect Fitness to make it healthier by at least including part whole-wheat flour.

By just eye-balling the recipe, it looks like the cinnamon and nutmeg should be increased to enhance the flavor.

Instead of measuring flour etc. I'm going to try starting with a brownie mix for the first 3 ngredients & adding from ingrediaent #4 on.I'll take the advice of cerny123 & spice it up by adding cloves, which I happen to love. �G

Try sprucing up with 1/2 tsp. of cloves to give them some spice.

These are really flat,dull muffins. Mine were surprisingly chewy - and I blame the fact that I don't have a baking thumb - but I was excited, because I know pumpkin is not only tasty, but good for you. Maybe you can do something to spruce it up, but I won't make these again.
