1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1-1/2 cups raisin bran cereal

3/4 cup canned pumpkin

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2/3 cup shredded carrots

3 egg whites

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Vegetable cooking spray

 

Combine 2 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon.  Set aside. 

 

Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.  Set aside.

 

Combine cereal, pumpkin, brown sugar, and carrots in large mixing bowl.  Let stand about 3 minutes, or until cereal softens.  Add egg whites and oil; beat well.  Add flour mixture, stirring only until combined. (Batter will be thick.)  Divide evenly into twelve 2-1/2" muffin-pan cups which have been coated with cooking spray.  Lightly sprinkle each muffin with reserved sugar and cinnamon mixture.  Bake at 400 deg. about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.  Serve warm.
