Fall season is upon us and with it comes the familiar, comforting aroma of pumpkin spice. One of the best ways to indulge in this seasonal flavor is by whipping up a batch of Pumpkin Spice Muffins. These delicious muffins are bursting with pumpkin puree, aromatic spices, and are perfect for breakfast, dessert or a midday snack. This article will guide you through the process of making the best Pumpkin Spice Muffins that you’ll want to share with everyone.

Ingredients:

– 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– ½ cup brown sugar, packed

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– ½ teaspoon salt

– 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

– 2 large eggs

– 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree

– ½ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled

– ¼ cup milk

– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping:

– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick spray.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until lightly whisked. Add the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix the batter as this could lead to tough muffins.

5. Scoop the muffin batter into prepared muffin tin cups—filling them about two-thirds full.

6. To make the topping, in a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the tops of the muffins.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for approximately 5 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Muffins with a steaming cup of coffee or tea, and relish in the flavors that make fall the coziest season of all. Share these tempting treats with your friends and family—they’ll love them just as much as you do!
