Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Or apple spice muffins, all you need to do is swap out the pumpkin puree for some apple sauce! Or I have noticed at my local grocery store mixed fruit sauces, like blueberry apple, that would also work well in this recipe. These muffins could also be good for a quick bite in the morning if you don't have time for something better, or with a little bit of cream cheese frosting they could make an excellent dessert.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 Cup Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree (or whatever fruit you are using today)
  • 1/3 Cup Canola Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon each of Nutmeg, Cinnamon, and Allspice
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F and prepare a muffin pan
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice, set aide.
  3. In a medium bowl beat the eggs along with the canola oil, brown sugar and pumpkin puree till it is pretty smooth.
  4. Add puree mixture to the flour mixture and combine with a wooden spoon.
  5. Spoon batter into prepare muffin cups 
  6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. I suggest checking between 15-20 minutes though because some ovens run hot.


Enjoy!
