Low Fat Pumpkin-Spice Muffins

This quick and easy recipe cures my pumpkin muffin craving with a fraction of the calories! So, in reality, you could eat 4 or 5 of these, or just 1 from Dunkin Donuts :)

You Need:
1 Tb butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 package of Jello Pumpkin Spice Instant Pudding Mix**
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup skim milk
dash of salt

**I found this seasonal pudding mix...made it DELICIOUS.  If you do this without pudding mix, increase flour to 2 1/2 cups; increase sugar to 1/2 cup; and add some cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice (I like these flavors A LOT, so 1 tsp each, but you may want to start with less)

To Make:
Preheat the oven to 425F
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until butter is light and fluffy. Beat in egg. 
In a separate bowl, combine flour, pudding mix, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
Add pumpkin and milk to the butter mixture, beat until smooth.
Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
Grease a standard-sized muffin tin, scoop into 12 muffin cups
Bake for about 15 minutes (check by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin, if it comes out clean, you're done!)

These calculate out to about 160 calories a pop! mmmm.
