Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree on hand, you can use canned pumpkin puree instead. Just be sure to drain it well before using it in the recipe.
- If you don't have a muffin pan, you can also bake these muffins in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins. You can add chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, or even dried fruit to these muffins.
- These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. If you have extra puree after making these muffins, you can use it to make pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, or even pumpkin pie.
