  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling)
  • Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; add chopped nuts if desired.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about halfway with batter. Spoon a small amount of cinnamon sugar filling into the center, then top with additional batter to cover the filling.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before glazing or frosting.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, top muffins with cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat muffins in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.
