  • salted butter

    melted

    ½ c
  • light brown sugar

    packed

    ¾ c
  • granulated sugar
    ¾ c
  • eggs
    2
  • pure vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • all-purpose flour
    1 ¾ c
  • pumpkin pie spice
    1 tbsp
  • cinnamon
    2 tsp
  • baking powder
    2 tsp
  • fine sea salt
    ½ tsp
  • mix-ins
    1 c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

  2. 2

    Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin, set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder and sea salt in a small bowl. Then, set it aside.

  4. 4

    Whisk the pumpkin puree and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth.

  5. 5

    Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and whisk until the sugars are dissolved.

  6. 6

    Then, whisk in eggs and vanilla.

  7. 7

    Add the dry ingredient mixture and whisk or stir until batter is smooth.

  8. 8

    If desired, add mix-ins like chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, walnuts, etc. and stir until evenly distributed.

  9. 9

    Pour ¼ cup of the pumpkin muffin batter into each well of the muffin tin, and smooth out the top.

  10. 10

    Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a cake tested inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few crumbs. ( NOTE: for high altitude, reduce baking time. I bake them for 15 to 18 minutes and I live 5,000 feet above sea level).

  11. 11

    Let pumpkin muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
