PUMPKIN & ORANGE MUFFINS
Pumpkins are delicious and such a great addition to many baked breads, not just for the health benefits, but their moisture qualities in baked goods!! And…if you open a giant can of pumpkin puree (say for a pumpkin pie) and only need half, this is the perfect way to use the other half. This particular recipe has a yummy hint or orange and it is AMAZING!! It's a lovely fall treat to get cozy with and a nice dose of Vitamin C.
INGREDIENTS
Dry Ingredients
-
1 ¾ Cup Gluten-Free 1-1 Baking Flour (or All Purpose Flour)
-
½ Cup Sugar
-
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
-
1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
-
1 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground
-
¾ teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
-
1 Cup (~15 ounce can) Pumpkin Puree
-
2 Eggs, large
-
¾ Cup Milk (Half n’ Half, Non-Dairy Alternative, all work well)
-
4 Tablespoons Butter, unsalted (room temp or melted)
-
2 teaspoon Orange rind, grated (~2 oranges)​​
PREPARATION
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
-
Coat 12 cup muffin pan with butter or coconut oil or use cupcake liners
-
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt) and mix well until ingredients evenly distributed
-
In a medium bowl, add pumpkin, eggs, milk, butter and orange rind. Mix well until ingredients are evenly distributed
-
Gently add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix.
-
Repeat this step until all ingredients are combined and gently mixed together.
-
Scoop ingredients into prepared muffin pan, filling about ½ to 2/3 full of each muffin tin.
-
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Depending on size of muffin tin (smaller or larger) you may need to adjust the time.
-
Once removed from oven, leave in the muffin pan for about 5-8 minutes and then pop out onto a wire rack to continue to cool or enjoy nice and warm…just be mindful you don’t burn your eager tongue (save that for moments of sweet endearment).
-
Enjoy!
