Reasons You’ll Love this Recipe
Say hello THE pumpkin muffin of the season. Here are a few reasons you’ll love this recipe:
They are absolutely delicious! Thanks to the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves this pumpkin muffin has so much depth of flavor. Top that off with a crumble topping and you will find yourself clamoring for more!
This recipe uses a whole can of pumpkin. Yay for minimal waste!
Savory muffins pair perfectly with smoothies. A few mornings a week, I blend our Tropical Smoothie, reheat a few of these muffins in the microwave (only takes 90 seconds), and pass them off as he’s heading out the door.
Pumpkin puree – This recipe uses a whole can. We love when a pumpkin recipe minimizes waste.
Unsweetened applesauce – Aa healthy substitute for some of that oil. If you don’t have this one hand, you can substitute oil or butter.
How to Make Pumpkin Spice Muffins
As with most muffin recipes, you’ll mix together the wet ingredients in one bowl, and dry ingredients in another. Then combine just until mixed together (don’t overdo it or they will get tough).
If you’re using coconut oil, be sure to melt it first and drizzle it in as you’re whisking the wet ingredients. That way it won’t clump up on you.
Tips for the Crumble Topping
While the crumble topping on these muffins is entirely optional, I’d highly recommend including it.
It adds extra flavor and texture which I think takes these muffins to the next level.
One tool I use to make crumbling up that topping easier is a pastry cutter. It gets the butter mixed in quickly and it’s just fun to use! If you don’t have one, just use a fork.
Baking Tips
I personally love using silicone muffin liners when I make muffin recipes. The muffins slide out of them so easily and they clean quickly in soapy water.
While we give a fairly accurate baking time, it’s important to know that your timing might be a bit different depending on your oven and your altitude. The best way to check is to give the middle of the muffins a gentle tap. If they don’t sink in from the light pressure, they are done!
Let muffins cool in the muffin tin for 10-15 minutes before trying to remove them.
How to Freeze Pumpkin Muffins
Freeze For Later:
Bake muffins as directed. Place muffins on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flash freeze the muffins long enough to harden them up. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer-safe bag or container.
Prepare From Frozen:
Let them thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator. You can also stick them in the microwave for a brief time to warm them up.
