Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Muffins – these soft, juicy, moist pumpkin muffins, that are covered with cinnamon and light brown sugar, make a perfect fall breakfast. This is a quick and easy recipe for all pumpkin fans.
MAKE PUMPKIN MUFFINS - preheat the oven to 350 F and spray 12 cup muffin tin with non stick spray. Then set it aside.
Next, in a medium dish combine all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a separate dish beat eggs, vegetable oil, light brown sugar and granulated sugar, at medium speed, for about 2 minutes, and then mix in vanilla extract. Add milk and pumpkin puree and mix until it is well combined.
Then lower the speed and slowly add dry ingredients. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs on it.
After that take the muffins out of the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a while, then take them out of the muffin tin and place on the cooling rack.
TO MAKE THE TOPPING – start by melting the butter. Mix cinnamon with light brown sugar in a smaller dish. Dip the muffins into the slightly cooled, melted butter, draining the extra and then cover them with cinnamon-brown sugar mixture. Make sure that they are covered completely.
Notes
You can also use muffin liners, but in that case cover only the muffin tops with cinnamon - brown sugar mixture and the quantity of butter, light brown sugar and cinnamon should be cut in half.
