Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup raw green pumpkin seeds
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 large eggs
Nonstick cooking spray

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.
