Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup flaxseed
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup buttermilk or yogurt  
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin puree (or sweet potato if pumpkin is not in season)

Directions
      1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin pan with 10 paper muffin cups. Whisk the yogurt, egg, oil, pumpkin and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
      2. In another large bowl or a stand mixer mix the flour, oats, flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the egg mixture. Stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, and sprinkle with brown sugar.
     3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes
