Moist Pumpkin Spice Muffins image

The full title of this recipe is Moist Pumpkin Spice Muffins (With Cream Cheese Frosting) I could only add what I added for the title. These are by far the best pumpkin Muffins ever. I'm afraid I'll have to borrow a photo from the actual web-sight I got the recipe from. My camera isn't working otherwise I'd post my own photo.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp butter, cut into pieces
1 c (heaping) pumpkin puree
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 whole egg
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c golden raisins
topping:
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
for frosting:
1/4 c softened butter
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 lb powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease 12 muffin tins.
  • 2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter with two knives or a pastry blender until it is fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Add raisins. Fold gently until mixture is just combined.
  • 3. Pour into a greased muffin pan-batter hardly ever fills all twelve unless you keep it down to 1/2 full. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar-nutmeg mixture over the top of each unbaked muffin.
  • 4. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. Ice with cream cheese frosting.
  • 5. To make the frosting, mix all ingredients on high until soft and whipped. Spread onto completely cooled muffins, or place into a large pastry bag with a large star tip and go crazy! Store in the fridge, as icing will soften at room temperature.
