What Are Muffin?

A muffin is an individually portioned baked dish, although the name can refer to one of two separate items: a part-raised flatbread (like a crumpet) that is baked and then fried on a griddle (usually unsweetened), or a chemically leavened quickbread (like a cupcake) that is baked in a mold. The “English” flatbread variant is of British or other European origin and dates back to at least the early 18th century, whereas the quickbread version emerged in North America around the 19th century. Both categories are widespread in today’s globe.

Ingredients That You’ll Need:

• Pumpkin puree: This Ina Garten recipe asks for 15 oz pumpkin puree, which is the equivalent of one can or 1/2 cup. If you have the fresh homemade puree, go ahead and use it! Just make sure you’ve drained the water out so it’s thick and not runny.
• Salted Butter: Unsalted butter, coconut oil, canola oil, or ghee can all be substituted for butter with excellent results. You may use applesauce in place of some of the butter, but I love it with butter.
• Brown Sugar: Light Use dark brown sugar if you want a stronger molasses flavor.
• Granulated sugar: This Ina Garten recipe works well with any white granulated sugar. I make use of organic cane sugar.
• Flour for all purposes: This Ina Garten pumpkin muffin recipe also works nicely with bread flour and pastry flour! For a gluten-free variation, use an all-purpose gluten-free baking flour!
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: Make your own or use store-bought! I put a recipe for 1 TBS pumpkin pie spice on the recipe card.

Can I Make These Muffins With Fresh Pumpkin Puree?

Definitely. you may roast and puree the flesh of a fresh pumpkin, but be sure you use a smaller baking pumpkin, such as a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin. Those large carving pumpkins are nearly flavorless.

How To Make Ina Garten Pumpkin Muffins?

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Set aside a 12-cup muffin tray that has been greased.
3. Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt in a small mixing basin. Place aside.
4. In a large mixing basin, combine pumpkin puree and melted butter until smooth.
5. Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until mixed and there are no lumps.
6. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract.
7. Stir in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth.
8. If desired, whisk in mix-ins such as chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, walnuts, and so on until equally distributed.
9. 1/4 cup pumpkin muffin batter should be poured into each muffin tray thoroughly and smoothed out.
10. Bake for 14-17 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the tops are set and a cake tester put into the middle of the loaf comes out clean or with a few crumbs. (I bake mine for about 15 minutes.)
11. Allow pumpkin muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack before removing and transferring them to a wire rack to cool entirely.

Recipe Tips

• Correctly measure your flour! The most common error is using too much flour in a recipe. A scale is a best and simplest way to measure flour. If you don’t have one, fluff your flour with a spoon, spoon it into your measuring cup, and level it with a knife.
• This dish will still taste delicious if you use pumpkin spice. Use 2 1/2 teaspoons of it instead of the other spices.
• To distribute the batter cleanly and evenly among the wells in the muffin tin, use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop.
• Use all of the batters and fill each cup nearly to the top if you want a bakery-style muffin with a big, rounded top. The batter will slightly spill over and rise in the oven, giving them their distinctive shape.
• Allow at least 10 minutes for the muffins to cool before removing them from the pan. It may be difficult to wait, but even after baking, the structure will require a few minutes to firm. They’ll be less likely to break apart if you wait.
