Pumpkin muffin Recipe
these muffins are soft and juicy during and after baking. A few warm spices, plus chocolate chips or nuts if you want them, will give your muffins a delicious touch.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowls
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Whisk or electric mixer
- 1 Spatula or wooden spoon
- 1 Muffin tin
- 1 Muffin liners or non-stick spray
- 1 Ice cream scoop or spoon
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- ½ tbsp baking powder
- ½ tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tbsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tbsp ground cloves
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Take care to preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before you continue. Place pieces of paper in the muffin tin holes or spray the holes with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and all the listed spices.
- In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin, eggs, both types of sugar, oil, milk and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture in the bowl until no lumps remain.
- Add the dry ingredients a little at a time into the mixture of wet ingredients. Mix the batter solely with a rubber spatula as you bring the ingredients together. Make sure not to mix the dough too much.
- Put the batter into the muffin tray so the cups are about 3/4 scooped full.
- After placing in the oven, bake for about 18-22 minutes until checking the center with a toothpick and finding it clean.
- After baking the muffins, pull the pan out of the oven and leave the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before placing them on the cooling rack.
- If serving fresh, enjoy it warm and if not, you can keep it sealed for up to 3 days at room temperature.
Notes
Pumpkin pie filling is not the same as pure pumpkin puree, so choose pure pumpkin puree.
Mix the batter only until it’s smooth or your muffins could become dense.
Increase the crunch of your coffee cake by adding some raw sugar or chopped nuts before baking.
You can also bring extra moisture and nutrition by adding 1/2 cup of applesauce or Greek yogurt.
