About This Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffins Recipe

• These muffins are an example of a fluffy and moist muffin texture with many flavours.
• This recipe calls for what we usually use for the Fall recipe and saves them in our pantry in the Autumn.
• We need Pumpkin Puree. Make sure to use the puree and not the Pumpkin pie filling.
• One crucial ingredient is the pecans. Pecans add texture and a warm, nutty flavour to these Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffins. As a rule, always roast any nuts you use in your recipe. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake them for 8-10 minutes in a 350F oven. Keep an eye on them as they burn very quickly.
• We also need a combination of spices such as cinnamon and ginger. This blend will give these muffins depth in flavour, and what makes them a Fall recipe is the spice choice. These muffins have cinnamon and ginger in the batter, and also they are topped with a mix of cinnamon, sugar, and crushed pecans. This topping adds flavour, texture, and extra crunch.

• One important ingredient that I would like to talk about is oil. Any neutral oil will work. Oil creates that fluffy and moist texture and keeps the Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffins moist for a longer time.

• This recipe contains ¼ cup Bourbon, adding an extra kick to each bite! If you do not have Bourbon or do not want to use Bourbon, use water instead.

How To Bake The Perfect Bakery-Style Muffins

1-Leave the batter on the counter for 15 minutes. Do the dishes while the batter is resting on the counter. Resting the batter helps to hydrate the flour and contributes to the fluffy and soft texture.

2-Line the muffin pan in every other cavity, leaving one empty cavity between two muffin liners. This allows the heat to get to each muffin evenly and properly.

3-Start your oven at a higher temperature, 400F to 425F, and bake the muffins for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, bring the oven temperature down to 350F and bake them for another 13 to 15 minutes.

How To Make These Muffins

• Roughly crush one cup of pecans and mix with ¾ cup granulated sugar and one tablespoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
• Line about 20 muffin cups with liner and set aside.
• The process of making these Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffins is as easy as a piece of cake 😉 This is a two-bowl recipe, meaning we mix all dry ingredients, including the spices, in one bowl and all wet ingredients, plus sugar, in another bowl.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet, and mix until there are no streaks of dry ingredients. Do Not Overmix.
• Fill up the muffin cups to the top. Spread one tablespoon of the sugar mix on top of each muffin and gently press the mixture down.
• Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes. Let them cool down in the pan, then transfer to the cooling rack to cool down completely.
