These Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins are the epitome of fall comfort. With their tender, spiced pumpkin goodness and a sweet cinnamon sugar coating, they're a delightful way to celebrate the season and indulge in a cozy treat that captures the warm flavours of autumn.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your mini muffin pan or regular muffin tins, or use paper liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set this dry mixture aside.
2 Cups All Purpose Flour, 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ Teaspoon Salt, 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
½ Cup Butter,, 1 Cup Granulated Sugar, 2 Eggs, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extact
Gently fold in the entire can of pumpkin puree, mixing until well combined.
1 Can (15 oz) Pumpin Puree
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
For mini muffins: Fill each well of the mini muffin pan about 2/3 full with the batter. For regular muffins: Fill each muffin tin about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven. For mini muffins, bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. For regular muffins, bake for about 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
While the muffins are still warm, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
½ Cup Granulated Sugar, 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Once the muffins are baked and while they are still warm, dip each muffin (top or entire muffin) into the melted butter, allowing any excess butter to drip off.
¼ Cup Butter,
Roll the muffin in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated. Place the coated muffins on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! :)
