Pumpkin Muffins

Author Notes: This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light, one of my favorite low-cal, low-fat cooking magazines. My version came about by accident: I wanted the muffins, but didn't have butter or sour cream in the apartment. So, out of sheer curiosity (and because I have the patience of a two-year-old and didn't want to wait until the next day), I substituted in 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt. I think it's even better this way. The muffins are super light and moist thanks to the pumpkin and the yogurt, and the extra sprinkle of sugar on top lends a fantastic texture contrast, as well as a delicious caramelized and burnt sugar taste. - athaler11

This will now be my go-to pumpkin bread recipe. I doubled this recipe to make a pumpkin bread loaf and it worked perfectly. It rises very nicely and was not soft in the middle. It took about 60 minutes to cook at 375 - but just use a test for doneness in the middle. It called for 8 oz yogurt, but since my yogurt cups were 6 oz, I used a bit more canned pumpkin as a moist ingredient.
