Multi Grain Pumpkin Muffins

2 c whole wheat flour
1 c oats (blended in your blender to create oat flour)
2 T flax seed meal, ground
1 c packed brown sugar
1 T pumpkin pie spice
1 t cinnamon
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
4 whole eggs OR 8 egg whites
2 c pureed or canned pumpkin
1 c applesauce
1 c honey
1 c mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (opt)
1 c craisins or raisins (opt)

In a large bowl, combine, flour, oats, flax seeds, brown sugar, spices, baking soda and baking powder.  Make a well in the center and put in eggs, pumpkin, applesauce and honey.  Mix just until the dry ingredients are absorbed. Stir in chips and craisins if desired.  Spoon into muffin cups (use the foil liners if possible).  Fill cups to the top.  This recipe makes 24 muffins.  Bake at 350 for 18 - 20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.

These were a huge hit at my house.
