Time 1h25m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup (145 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
5 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1 cup (240 grams) pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup raw walnut pieces
1/2 cup pepitas
3 tablespoons coarse raw sugar

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line every other cup in 2 muffin pans with muffin liners, for a total of 12 cups. (This will allow the tops to spread and the muffins to bake more evenly.)
  • Cook the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately pour the butter into a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • Sift the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the oil, pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons water to the brown butter. Whisk until combined, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth and lightened, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 liners (about a heaping 1/4 cup for each). Sprinkle the tops with the walnuts and pepitas. Sprinkle again with the raw sugar.
  • Place both muffin pans on the center oven rack and turn the oven temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake, rotating the pans about 3/4 of the way through baking, until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out with a just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool completely on the rack.
