Pumpkin Spice Bread Muffins

All year long I look forward to the Fall cooking season, especially the baking portion. These beauties top the list of what I look forward to making once the Fall season hits.

Pumpkin Spice Bread Muffins, mmmm. I have added raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts and sometimes a mix to these. But they’re good just as is too, with just the pumpkin and spice flavor as the star.

Now, if you like pumpkin like I do, you’ll be sure to love these muffins, they can be addicting though!

In these pictures I halved the recipe, and it made a perfect dozen. If you keep the recipe as written it will make 24 cupcake sized muffins, and a few extra if you add chocolate chips, raisins, or walnuts. If you add any of these, I’d suggest about 3/4 to 1 cup of each, and add it in at the stage where you mix in the pumpkin! No matter which way, they’re delicious and I hope you enjoy this recipe during this season for years to come!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, softened to room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin
  • cinnamon sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter or margarine with the sugars.
Add eggs and mix until blended.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
Mix until well blended.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients.
Stir until just moistened.
Add the pumpkin, and stir until evenly incorporated.
Spray and grease muffin tin, then add your batter.
Sprinkle the tops generously with cinnamon sugar.
Pop in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
These are delicious served warm, perfectly paired with Pumpkin Spice coffee!
Enjoy!

    • My favorite version of this is raisins. They are so good with them, my oldest loves them with chocolate chips. I love the versatility! With walnuts they would definitely remind me of banana bread, because they do have that taste to them, just a little different since it’s pumpkin instead of banana. So walnuts are a great addition! 🙂

  6. Dawn you kill me with your easy but great recipes. The cornbread was a hit and I’m thinking of adding blueberries next time. Can’t wait to try this one!

    • Yes Melissa you definitely could. Just make sure it’s pureed, and 16 ounces would equal about 2 cups. 🙂

      Cut the pumpkin open, gut it (seeds and all the insides) then cut up the pumpkin in little chunks. Put it in a shallow dish, skin side up and about an inch of water in the bottom. Pop it in the oven at 375 for about an hour, until it’s very soft.

      Once it’s done and cooled, scrape all the “meat” from the skin and into a bowl. Use a cheesecloth to squeeze all the moisture out, Then mash it up into a puree. Viola! Then add 2 cups of that to this mixture and follow all the other directions. Hope that helps!
