Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. butter , softened
- 2 Tbsp. prune puree
- 1 c. Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (or Brown Sugar)
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 egg whites
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 - 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder (low sodium)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. allspice
- 1/2 tsp. ginger
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, prune puree, and brown sugar. Add the canned pumpkin, molasses, egg, egg white, and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, and baking powder and add the cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between the balls of dough. (They will spread slightly during cooking.)
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and slightly golden around the edges. Cool at room temperature.
