PUMPKIN MAPLE MUFFINS

These muffins are just the right amount of sweet, lightly spiced and deeply orange, thanks to the addition of ground turmeric. Browning the butter beforehand may seem like a fussy step, but it provides a vaguely nutty, deeply caramelized flavor that makes for a superlative muffin.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon*
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger*
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves*
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg*
1 cup buttermilk**
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree - canned or homemade
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup canola 0r vegetable oil
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (depending on your tastes)
3 teaspoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line 12 standard (1/3 cup) muffin cups with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin, maple syrup, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and whisk just until the ingredients are well incorporated. Try not to overmix!
  • Divide batter between the 12 muffins cups.
  • Bake for about 22 - 25 minutes, until the top of the muffins spring back when poked and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Angels may sing, too. Okay, I'm kidding about that last one.
  • Move muffins to a wire rack on top of a couple of paper towels (helps with clean-up) and allow to cool for 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Mix up the glaze - whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, syrup, and milk until smooth and shiny.
  • With a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the tops of the muffins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin. Avoid using jack-o'-lantern pumpkins, as they have a stringy texture and bland flavor.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the pumpkin until it is tender and caramelized.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: The maple syrup is a key ingredient in these muffins, so be sure to use a good quality syrup. Look for a syrup that is dark and amber in color and has a strong maple flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost full: This will help the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin maple muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and maple glaze, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
