Time 35m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup nonfat sour cream
1/3 cup nonfat milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg white
cooking spray
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Make a well in center of mixture.
  • Combine pumpkin and next 6 ingredients (pumpkin through egg white); add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon the batter into 18 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and brown sugar; sprinkle over muffins.
  • Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove muffins from pans immediately; cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then blending it until smooth, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • 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 make your muffins tough.
  • Fill your muffin cups only 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will rise too high and may overflow.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make your muffins dry.

Conclusion:

These fluffy pumpkin muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist texture and sweet pumpkin flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
