Recipe :

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups (230 g.) all-purpose flour

1 cup (225 g.) granulated white sugar

1/2 cup (100 g.) packed light brown sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 cup (120 g.) pecans, chopped

2 eggs

15 oz. (425 g.) pumpkin puree (plain, not the spiced one)

1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil

Garnish:

2 tbsp. granulated white sugar

1 tbsp. cinnamon

1 12 muffin pan – 12 muffin cups

Make the batter:

Preheat oven to 375°F - 195°C and line a muffin pan with muffin cups

Into a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, sugars, baking soda, salt and spices

Add the chopped pecans, fold with a spatula

Into a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree and vegetable oil

With a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until they are moistened, do NOT overmix

Fill the muffin cups with the batter, about 2/3 full

Into a small bowl, mix white sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle a bit of mix evenly on top of muffins

Bake muffins:

Into the oven, bake for about 20 minutes to 25 minutes (mine took 25 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted in the center of muffins comes out clean

Let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from pan

Let cool on a rack for about 1 hour before serving

Note:

Really, the only important thing to know about making muffins: once you have added your dry ingredients to the wet, mix them delicately with a spatula, just until well incorporated. The secret to soft muffins is to not overmix.

Once you have found a recipe you are comfortable with, just use your imagination to bake endless combinations of delicious muffins.

Enjoy!
