Marthas Pumpkin Muffins Recipes

PUMPKIN DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 12 standard muffin cups. Make batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and allspice. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and pumpkin puree. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions pumpkin mixture, and beat to combine.
• Spoon 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Let muffins cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Working with one at a time, remove muffins from pan, brush all over with butter, then toss to coat in sugar mixture. Let muffins cool completely on a wire rack.

PUMPKIN-SEED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread seeds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until puffed and browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Raise oven heat to 375 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, allspice, and salt. Reserve 3 tablespoons seeds for topping; mix remaining seeds into flour mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, pumpkin puree, butter, and eggs. Add to dry ingredients; mix until just incorporated.
• Spray a 12-cup (each 2 1/2 inches wide) standard muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide batter among cups; sprinkle with reserved seeds. Bake until muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center of one comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool 5 minutes before lifting out of the pan.

PUMPKIN MAPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray muffin molds with nonstick spray or line them with paper liners.
