The ingredients and instructions are listed below, so enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of fall with these Pumpkin Muffins, a perfect balance of pumpkin spice!
⭐️ Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
4 large eggs
½ cup milk (non-fat, unsweetened milk alternative, or reconstituted dry milk)
1 (15-ounce) can 100% pumpkin purée
¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup oil (canola or vegetable)
nonstick cooking spray
⭐️ Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Clean the kitchen area and wash hands with soap and water.
3. In a large bowl, mix both flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, crack and beat the eggs.
5. Clean the kitchen area where the eggs were cracked and wash hands with soap and water after handling raw eggs.
6. Add milk, pumpkin, applesauce, and oil to the mixing bowl with eggs. Mix together until blended.
7. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Do not overmix.
8. Grease or line a muffin tin and fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter. For medium-sized muffins, bake for about 20 minutes. For mini muffins, bake for about 12 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick or butter knife is inserted and comes out clean. If they are not done, continue baking in 2 to 3 minute increments.
9. Once done, remove the muffins from the pans and let them cool on a cooling rack.
