Something Old: Pumpkin Muffins

Just in case you're not going to get enough pumpkin in the next week, or in case you're searching for a last minute recipe to take to the family gathering, here's a great recipe for you.

This recipe works as a dessert recipe too! Spread cream cheese frosting on the tops and dust with cinnamon sugar, and you're good to go.

Pumpkin Muffins November 6, 2009


It’s time for fall things! Sweaters, essays, soup and sniffles. But most importantly, it’s time for pumpkin baked goods!

The other day I started craving anything pumpkin, so I went searching for a recipe for pumpkin muffins. I found a few and decided to combine a few to make just I wanted.

After tweaking (brown sugar was a must!) and playing around, this is what I made:

Ingredients
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups canned pumpkin, unflavored
cup veggie oil
2 tsp McCormick pumpkin-pie spice
1 ¼ cup white sugar
1 ¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp salt
Topping:
3 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp sugar

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and put paper liners in muffin tin.
2. Mix flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
3. In a large bowl, mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
4. Once that is mixed, carefully add flour mixture until combined.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients.
6. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full, then sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar topping.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
8. Sprinkle the remaining topping over the muffins. Let cool and enjoy!
