Categories     Other Desserts

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c whole-wheat or all-purpose flour
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 c packed light brown sugar
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 can(s) (15 oz.) libby's 100% pure pumpkin
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 c lowfat granola cereal, crumbled

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat sugar and oil in a medium mixing bowl until blended. Add pumpkin and eggs; beat well. Gradually stir in flour mixture.
  • 2. Spoon batter into muffin cups which have been greased or paper-lined. Fill 2/3 full. Sprinkle each muffin with about 1/2 teaspoon of crumbled granola. Press the granola lightly into the batter.
  • 3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • 4. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in covered containers or resealable plastic bags.

Tips:

  • Pumpkin puree: Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree. If using canned, make sure it is unsweetened.
  • Spices: Pumpkin muffins are typically flavored with a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add other spices, such as cloves or allspice, to taste.
  • Sugar: Brown sugar gives pumpkin muffins a moist and flavorful crumb. You can also use granulated sugar, but the muffins will be less moist.
  • Oil: Vegetable oil or melted butter can be used in pumpkin muffins. Oil will produce a lighter muffin, while butter will give the muffins a richer flavor.
  • Eggs: Eggs help to bind the ingredients together and give the muffins structure. You can use either whole eggs or egg whites in pumpkin muffins.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used in pumpkin muffins. You can also use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Baking powder and baking soda: These two leavening agents help the muffins to rise. Make sure that they are fresh before using.
  • Nuts and seeds: Chopped nuts or seeds can be added to pumpkin muffins for extra flavor and texture. Popular choices include walnuts, pecans, raisins, cranberries, sunflower seeds and chocolate chips.
  • Muffin tins: You will need a 12-cup muffin tin to make these muffins. Grease the muffin cups with cooking spray or line them with paper liners before filling.
  • Baking time: Pumpkin muffins typically take about 20-25 minutes to bake. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of pumpkin muffins that are sure to please everyone.
