Soft, tender muffins with a donut-like texture, coated in a warm cinnamon sugar blend. These easy-to-make treats are perfect for autumn mornings or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  8. Mix coating sugar and cinnamon. While muffins are still warm, roll tops in the mixture or press sugar onto tops.

Notes

Ensure pumpkin puree is not too watery; drain if necessary. Use room temperature eggs to prevent butter from solidifying. Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender muffins. Coat muffins while warm for best sugar adhesion.
