GINGER PUMPKIN MUFFINS



GINGER PUMPKIN MUFFINS image

Categories     Christmas

Yield 28 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 15 oz.can of pumpkin
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter - melted
4 eggs
1/2 cup apple cider
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 cup finely chopped crystillized ginger
(You can find it at Foodtown in Red Bank in the bulk food bins)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place paper liners in 28 muffin cups. Stir the pumpkin, sugar and butter together in large mixing bowl. Add eggs and beat until mixture is smooth. Stir in cider. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices into another bowl. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until all together. Fold in the crystillized ginger. Spoon into muffin tins, filling alsmost to the top. Bake until puffed and golden 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Opt for fresh pumpkin: Using fresh pumpkin purée instead of canned purée yields a noticeably better flavor and texture. If using canned purée, choose one unsweetened and with no added ingredients.
  • Measure flour correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, fluff the flour before spooning it into the measuring cup. Avoid scooping flour directly from the bag, as this can result in a denser muffin.
  • Use quality spices: Freshly ground spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, provide a more intense flavor compared to pre-ground options. If using pre-ground spices, make sure they are fresh and not stale.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can lead to tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fill muffin cups properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to allow for proper rising and to prevent overflowing. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to distribute the batter evenly.
  • Bake muffins at the right temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature initially (400°F) helps create a crispy muffin top, while reducing the temperature (350°F) allows the muffins to finish baking evenly without burning.

Conclusion:

These moist and flavorful pumpkin ginger muffins are a delightful treat perfect for fall gatherings or everyday snacking. With a tender crumb, a hint of ginger spice, and a satisfyingly crispy muffin top, these muffins are sure to be a hit. Using fresh pumpkin purée and quality spices elevates the flavor, while simple techniques like measuring flour correctly and not overmixing the batter ensure a successful bake. Whether you enjoy them warm from the oven or store them for later, these pumpkin ginger muffins are a delicious and versatile addition to your baking repertoire.
