Pumpkin Spice Mini Muffins 27 calories, 0g fat, 7 carbs, 1g protein . This is definitely pumpkin season and these muffins are a perfect healthy, delicious way to get your pumpkin fix! They turned out to be the most moist of my mini muffins and the lowest calorie too! If you want to change it up you could double the amount of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to make them even nuttier and spicier, or add crushed nuts like walnuts or pecans. Try making a double batch (or mix and match different mini muffin flavors) and freezing them 4-5 at a time in Ziploc bags for perfect on the go snack packs. Go make them, go go! :) .
