Pumpkin Maple Muffins

These muffins embody fall with the warm spices and pumpkin flavor.

cook time: ~45 mins
equipment: muffin tin with liners, bowls to mix or stand mixer
yield: 18 muffins

ingredients:

  • 1 stick/114 g unsalted butter
  • 290g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 15oz can pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs
  • 150g brown sugar
  • 150 mL maple syrup

recipe:

  1. Heat the oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Put the stick of butter in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Stir occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt). Whisk to combine.
  4. In a large bowl or stand mixer, add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth on low speed. Mix in the dry ingredients, and then the browned butter.
  5. Scoop the batter into the muffin liners (I like to use a cookie scoop). Bake for 25 mins or until the tops spring back when touched.
  6. Remove from the muffin tin immediately for them to cool.
