Pumpkin Pecan Muffins
The best pumpkin muffins, laden with pecans and a sugary pecan topping.
Recipe type: Dessert | Muffins
Prep time:  20 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  45 mins
Recipe Notes
Pan: One 12 Cup Standard Muffin Pan Prep: Greased or Paper Cups Oven Temp: 400° Yield: 12 Muffins Storage: Tightly Wrapped, Room Temperature

TheBakingPan Recommends: The BEST instant read thermometer I’ve used for cooking and baking; the ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is incredibly fast, ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapenaccurate, and well worth the investment. I use my Thermapen Thermometer for checking room temperature ingredients, tempering chocolate, baking bread, making pastry creams, sugar syrup, caramel, and candy, cooking meats and fish, and deep frying. Thermapen Thermometer available here.
Ingredients
Batter:
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease two standard 12 cup muffin pan or line with paper cups.
Batter:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk until frothy. Add pumpkin, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla; stir to completely mix. Pour mixture into flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in pecans.
  3. Fill muffin cups ⅔ full.
Topping:
  1. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and pecans; stir to mix. Sprinkle tops of each muffin with the pecan mixture, about 1 teaspoon on each muffin.
  2. Bake: Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove muffins from muffin pan and cool on a wire cooling rack.

Easter Coconut Cake

April 16, 2019 By Carol Arroyo

Save Print Easter Coconut Cake A coconut custard cake all dressed for Easter. I purchased the cute Easter sprinkles at a local cake decorating shop. I made one mistake on this cake; when making the white chocolate drip I was rushed for time and simply melted the candy melts instead of making a ganache. This […]

Lemony Carrot Cake

Save Print Lemony Carrot Cake A simple carrot cake flavored with a touch of cinnamon and crushed pineapple, and wowed with a lemony cream cheese filling. I used American Buttercream for the frosting, but Swiss Meringue Buttercream or Flour Buttercream would also be delicious. Recipe type: Dessert | Oil Cake | Layer Cake Prep time:  45 […]
