Kind of Famous Pumpkin Muffins

Forever ago I had this idea to make a cooking blog just for myself to save all my favorite recipes. Well, then along came Pinterest and I didn't need it anymore. I kind of forgot about it until I started getting random messages that people were loving my pumpkin muffins. Huh?

Come to find out, this recipe on that tiny blog has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. What? And it's pinned all over Pinterest. Who knew! Well, might as well post this on my "real" blog then.  Especially since I've developed the process just a bit more.


I must say, they are seriously yummy. It's my mom's recipe with just a few adjustments. 

It's best to double the recipe. You'll want to share. Enjoy! 


Natalie's Pumpkin Muffins


1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice 
1/2 cup milk ((room temperature
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup melted butter, cooled but not solid.
1 egg (room temperature
1/2 cup raisins (opt)

Mix all wet ingredients. 

(Having everything room temperature insures that the butter won't solidify. If you add hot butter, you will curdle the eggs.)


 Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add to wet ingredients.


Stir until batter is just lumpy. Do not over mix. 


Spoon into cupcake liners, sprayed with cooking spray, or into a well greased muffin tin.


Sprinkle 1/4 tsp sugar on each muffin just before baking to create a crust.

Bake at 400 degrees for 16-20 mins. I start checking at 15 minutes. 

I think they are best hot with butter. 

Yum. Fall, you rock my world.
