Time 1h25m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup (145 grams) lightly packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
5 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1 cup (240 grams) pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup raw walnut pieces
1/2 cup pepitas
3 tablespoons coarse raw sugar

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line every other cup in 2 muffin pans with muffin liners, for a total of 12 cups. (This will allow the tops to spread and the muffins to bake more evenly.)
  • Cook the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately pour the butter into a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • Sift the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the oil, pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons water to the brown butter. Whisk until combined, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth and lightened, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula just until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 liners (about a heaping 1/4 cup for each). Sprinkle the tops with the walnuts and pepitas. Sprinkle again with the raw sugar.
  • Place both muffin pans on the center oven rack and turn the oven temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake, rotating the pans about 3/4 of the way through baking, until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out with a just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 24 to 26 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool completely on the rack.

Paleo(ish) Pumpkin Walnut Muffins image

"Pumpkin muffins modified from another recipe I found so it is gluten free and pretty clean in terms of diet."

Provided by Chris P.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup agave nectar, or more to taste
6 eggs
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch pumpkin pie spice, or to taste
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  • Whisk pumpkin puree, coconut flour, coconut oil, agave nectar, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl until batter is smooth; fold in walnuts. Spoon about 3 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are smaller and sweeter than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin ahead of time: This will help to concentrate the flavor and make the muffins more moist.
  • Use fresh walnuts: If you don't have fresh walnuts, you can toast raw walnuts in a pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

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