Best Spiced Pumpkin Muffins Recipes

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT SPICED PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Place dried cranberries in a bowl with hot water to cover. Let stand to rehydrate, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves together in a large bowl.
• Whisk egg whites together in a separate bowl. Gently fold in pumpkin puree, applesauce, honey, molasses, and vanilla extract.
• Create a well in the flour mixture and fold in pumpkin mixture. Mix until just combined. Drain water from cranberries and fold into the batter.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost full. Top each muffin with additional cranberries, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dash of pumpkin spice.
• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until tops are no longer sticky and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

PUMPKIN SPICED DONUT HOLE MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or line mini muffin pan.
• 2. Pull out two large bowls. In one bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves.
• 3. In another bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined by hand. (Not necessary to use a mixer!)
• 4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined - do not over mix!
• 5. Divide the batter evenly among the 24 muffin cups (using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop). I had enough batter left to make four more.
• 6. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
• 7. While the muffins bake, prepare the final coating. Melt butter in one bowl and combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. (When making again, I will cut this recipe for the cinnamon/sugar coating, including butter, in half. It made way too much!)
• 8. Remove muffins from oven and cool for 2 minutes, or until just cool enough to handle. Dip each muffin top in the melted butter, then dip in cinnamon/sugar to coat. If you did not use paper liners, you can dunk the whole muffin in the melted butter, and roll in the cinnamon/sugar mix for a more donut feel!

PUMPKIN MUFFINS FILLED WITH SPICED MARSHMALLOW CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a bowl, add your nuts, coconut, and raisins. Cut off the top of cake mix and add 2 Tbsp of cake mix to your ingredients. Stir thoroughly to make sure all ingredients are coated. This will ensure even distribution to your muffins.
• 2. In your stand up mixer, or using a hand mixer and a bowl, add your cake mix. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
• 3. Fold in your nut mixture.
• 4. Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. Using a 1/4 c measure scoop batter into muffin tins. Bake for 17-19 minutes (mine took 17).
• 5. Meanwhile, as muffins are baking, you can start on your spiced marshmallow cream. In a small bowl, combine hot water and salt. Nuke for 30 seconds until all salt is dissolved.
• 6. Using your mixer, beat the marshmallow creme, shortening, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the salt mixture and beat for 1 more minute. Using your pastry bag or a plastic bag, insert star pastry tip, add cream, and chill until ready to use.
• 7. Remove muffins from the oven. Let rest on a cookie rack for 1-2 minutes, then remove from tins and let them cool thoroughly. Using a citrus corer or whatever you prefer. Insert citrus corer into the top of muffins. Make a hole thru the muffin, but ensuring you don't go all the way thru to the bottom.
• 8. Continue with the rest of the muffins. Fill with marshmallow creme. **Note: if you don't have a pastry bag, a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped works just fine. **
• 9. Enjoy!! **Note: I have made the marshmallow cream without the canned pumpkin as well. The cream is very good either way. Without the pumpkin, they have a more striking appearance.
