Pumpkin-Pecan Muffins image

I have searched for a moist and delicious healthy pumpkin muffin recipe for a long time. Finally, I modified a very old banana bread recipe and voila--it makes muffins or a loaf and it is fantastic! These muffins also taste great with a cream cheese icing.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup butter
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup almond milk
2 eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add pumpkin puree, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Mix in ground flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Make a well in the center and pour butter mixture into the well. Stir just until batter is combined. Fold in pecans and spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.
