Pumpkin Muffins

I love making these this time of year. They aren't quite as good for you as Michelle's "Morning Glory Muffins" but, very yummy!

2 cups Bisquick (or all purpose whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup sugar (you could sub. honey)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins (or you could sub. with chocolate chips;)

Heat oven to 400 degrees

1. Mix ingredients in a large bowl, adding raisins last. Pour batter into muffin pan till about 1/2 full.

2. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes (if you are making 'Texas' size muffins it may take extra time). To make sure they are done insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If a few crumbs stick to it...then it's done.

3. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove them from the pan to finish cooling on a wire rack.

4. When muffins are cooled dust with confectioners sugar and enjoy!
