Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅓ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, cloves, and crystallized ginger in a bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla and pumpkin puree with the last egg. Stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin puree. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well.
  • The crystallized ginger adds a nice spicy flavor to the muffins. If you don't have crystallized ginger, you can use chopped candied ginger or even dried ginger powder.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • If you want to make the muffins ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply thaw the muffins overnight in the refrigerator or microwave them on low power for 30 seconds at a time until warmed through.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin muffins with crystallized ginger are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. They are moist and flavorful, with a hint of spice from the ginger. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
