Make your fall complete with our delicious pumpkin spice muffins recipe!
Pumpkin is one of my favorite desserts. Pie, Bread, Cheesecake, or cookies, nothing beats pumpkin. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger fill the air with such warm pleasantness, it is hard to want anything else! I had a couple of cans of pumpkin pie mix sitting around so I decided to bake up some muffins and a loaf of bread.
Cook Eat Delicious Rating: This is a simple baking easy recipe, really requiring no skills at all! Add the ingredients together, mix, pour, bake, and voila! Your done! The bread & muffins turned out wickedly moist & full of spice & deliciousness. Spreading some cinnamon butter on a warm slice is too good to describe. I definitely will bake these again. I individually wrapped the muffins tightly in saran wrap once they were completely cooled and threw them in the freezer. They thaw perfectly or nuke one muffin in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to have a warm muffin with your morning tea.

Baking Tips
It’s that time of year again – Fall. The temperatures start to drop, the leaves change color, and everyone starts craving warm, delicious muffins. Whether you’re a fan of pumpkin pie or not, you need to try these Pumpkin Spice Muffins! Not only are they delicious, but they’re also easy to make and packed with the perfect amount of spice.
- First, be sure to measure out the correct amount of sugar and spices in order to create the perfect balance. Too much spice or sugar will ruin the taste of your muffins, so be careful not to go overboard. Second, be sure to bake your muffins on a baking sheet in a preheated oven for 17 minutes. This will give them a lovely golden brown color and ensure that they are cooked through.
- Finally, once your muffins have cooled slightly (but still warm), it’s time for the frosting! We recommend using a lighter frosting – something like whipped cream or cream cheese – in order to keep them healthy. Add some extra spices like cinnamon or cloves if desired for an extra special Fall treat!
