Perfect Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 0.75 cup melted butter
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder

Method

  1. Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare 14 muffin cups by greasing them or lining with paper liners that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, water, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder. Pour this dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full.
  5. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the muffins are golden in colour and spring back lightly when touched.
