Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 presetI hesitate to bake in our house when it’s not for another person or occasion because I love to eat the things that I bake and so does my hubs and toddler K.  However, I had to make pumpkin spice muffins, it’s that time of year and fall flavors are amazing!  I kid you not, these are the most moist muffins you have ever tried.  I don’t know how they do it but it feels like they melt in your mouth.  I will be making these again for our Halloween party at the end of the month.  Just add some cream cheese frosting to the top and you have a pumpkin cupcake 🙂

Ingredients:

1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Butter, cut into pieces
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup Milk (We use hemp milk because of food allergies)
1 whole Egg
1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
Topping
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  I used mini muffin pans and made 24 minis and had enough left over for 8 large muffins too.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. In another bowl, mix together pumpkin, milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until combined.

Fill the muffin pans (I did about 3/4 full for the mini and half with the large) and put topping over each unbaked muffin.

Bake for 10 mins for the minis and about 18 for the large.

You want to make these, I promise you won’t be sorry!
