pumpkin muffins ingredients:
Besides the usual staples—Flour, egg, leaveners, and granulated sugar, below are the ingredients to make the most tender, moist, and chocolate-y pumpkin muffins!
- Oil: Any oil works here. Canola, vegetable, avocado, or even sesame does!
- Brown sugar: Moisture from the molasses in the brown sugar makes the most tender pumpkin muffins. Both light and dark sugars will do the job.
- Chocolate chips: I found Toll House semi-sweet morsels in Walmart. Do you know what I love the most about the holidays? They keep holiday-inspired stuff in the main walking aisle. Makes it so easy to sight the products! 😉 And you can always locate them in the baking aisle section.
- Milk: Full-fat, low-fat, or even dairy-free milk are fine in this recipe.
- Salt and spices: I like to use pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon in my muffins. You may use a combination of ginger, nutmeg, and cloves if you don't have pumpkin spice on hand. ⅛ teaspoon each!
How to make Pumpkin muffins:
These fall muffins are so easy to make that you will feel you are doing something wrong! Let's quickly get to the process.
- Mix oil, pumpkin puree, both sugars, and eggs in a medium bowl.
- Now, sift all the dry ingredients together (using a sieve) directly over the wet.
- Toss in Toll House chocolate Chips. Pour in liners.
- And bake! We'll bake our muffins at initial high temp and then, keeping muffins in the oven, reduce the temp to 350 deg F and bake until done.
- I love to top my muffins with a few more choc chips as soon as they are done baking.
Oh, that pleasure of sinking your teeth into warm, soft tender and deliciously spiced desserts! Why doesn't fall last all year long!!!
What is the best way to store muffins?
Always store muffins in air tight containers or resealable plastic bags.
Do homemade muffins need to be refrigerated?
If needed to store for more than a few days, muffins can be refrigerated for up to a week. Air tight containers are best to store these, keep a few paper towels in your containers to absorb extra moisture that accumulates in.
Can pumpkin muffins be frozen?
Yes, absolutely! Allow the muffins to cool down completely before attempting to freeze them. Place them in freezer bags or air tight containers. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or on counter top before enjoying.
