PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Great for a breakfast or dessert! Serve warm with whipped cream cheese for a decadent treat. If you don't have pumpkin-pie spice on-hand, this is the recipe: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice. I always add raisins to my muffins, but walnuts are good too!

Time 35m

Yield 24-32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray or grease muffin tins.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Stir until well blended and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl combine pumpkin, oil, and milk.
  • Gently stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients, just until blended. DO NOT OVERMIX.
  • Spoon into muffin tins (3/4 full).
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Test with a toothpick.
  • Turn onto rack to cool.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can buy it canned.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make your muffins dry and dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will also make your muffins tough.
  • Fill your muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These decadent pumpkin muffins are the perfect fall treat. They're moist, flavorful, and full of pumpkin spice. They're also easy to make, so you can enjoy them anytime you want. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
