Pumpkin Muffins

These amazingly rich Pumpkin Muffins are perfect for autumn and winter days. The pumpkin puree gives them a tempting yellow-orange color.

These muffins tasted so good that we finished them that evening and the next day I made another round. These muffins are a good way to include walnuts and have kids eat pumpkin and walnuts in one bite. You can also include chocolate too and have an irresistible treat in no minute.

These muffins can also be a perfect option for a quick breakfast or a snack on the go.

How to make pumpkin muffins

To create delightful pumpkin muffins, start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare your muffin pan by either greasing the cups or lining them with paper cups.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour with spices and baking powder, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and sugar until the mixture is well blended and slightly frothy. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until the ingredients are well incorporated. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until the batter is smooth and uniformly mixed.

If you are using chocolate chunks, fold in about 3.5 oz (100g) of the chunks into the batter, reserving the remaining 0.5 oz (20g) to sprinkle on top of the muffins after baking.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the tops of the muffins.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes. While the muffins are still warm, you can add the reserved chocolate chunks on top of each for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness.

Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving.
