Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cups Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups Apple butter
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, apple butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and lumpy.
If using, gently fold the chopped nuts into the batter for added texture and flavor.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a breakfast treat or a cozy afternoon snack!
