Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 c all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
pinch ground ginger
pinch ground cardamom
15 oz can of pumpkin puree
1/3 c buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
10 Tbsp cold unsalted butter
3/4 c brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter and flour a standard 12 cup muffin pan.
  • 2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk pumpkin, buttermilk, and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • 3. Cut butter into tablespoons and beat until smooth. Add brown sugar and cream until light and fluffy, about five minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until blended, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  • 4. On low speed, alternate adding flour and pumpkin, beginning and ending with flour in 3 batches, until just combined. With a spatula, give the batter a couple of good folds to ensure all of the flour and pumpkin is incorporated.
  • 5. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake 28-32 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.*
  • 6. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Melt butter and brush over warm muffins. Roll muffins in cinnamon sugar.
  • 7. *To freeze, cool muffins completely, then freeze up to 3 months. Reheat about 10 minutes in 350* oven, then brush with butter and roll in cinnamon sugar.
