Liz,
I found a wonderful recipe for pumpkin bread last week on Hungry-Girl.  I made it up as a loaf and it was wonderful.  No oil, whole wheat flour, no sugar.  I would love to try it in muffin tins, but not sure how long to cook it.  You seem to be the cooking guru, can you give me some advice on cooking time?  It really is a great recipe - great pumpkin flavor. 
thanks for any help you can provide,
Eileen (Thompson worker's girlfriend)

Right Said Bread  
  After getting a BAZILLION requests for pumpkin bread, we figured it was time to make some. And after EIGHT attempts, we got it just right. Try it and see!

Ingredients:
One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters)
1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1/4 cup Ocean Spray Craisins Original Sweetened Dried Cranberries (or regular raisins), chopped
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice (in other words, all dry ingredients except for the Craisins or raisins).

In a medium bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and vanilla extract (all the wet ingredients). Add this mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended.

Slowly sprinkle chopped Craisins or raisins into the batter, making sure they don't all stick together, and mix to distribute them.

Spoon batter into a large loaf pan (about 9" X 5") sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the top of the loaf is firm to the touch. (Bread may be moist inside. This doesn't mean it's undercooked.) Allow to cool, and then cut into 8 slices. Enjoy!

Hi Eileen!! I would bake them about 15-20 minutes then check - stick a tooth pick in and if it comes out clean they are done!

I saw that recipe and it looks good - I might have to try it!

Happy Baking

Thanks, Shannon.  I hadn't thought of the mini-muffins - but might try them.
