Instructions
-
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, brown sugar, butter, and pumpkin until well combined and smooth in texture.
-
Mix in the raisins, dates, and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter, ensuring a delightful burst of flavor in every bite.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, creating a harmonious blend of aromatic spices and leavening agents.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin-fruit mixture, gently folding with a spatula until just moistened and combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain the muffins’ tender texture.
-
Grease the muffin tins generously, then fill each cavity approximately 2/3 full with the luscious pumpkin batter, allowing ample room for rising during baking.
-
In a small bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon, creating a delectable topping that will infuse each muffin with a hint of sweetness and warmth.
-
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the tops of the muffins, ensuring an irresistible golden crust that will captivate your senses with every bite.
-
Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) and bake the muffins for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, signaling their perfect doneness and inviting aroma that fills your kitchen with the essence of autumn.
-
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or devour them warm, savoring each moist, tender crumb bursting with the flavors of pumpkin, raisins, dates, and walnuts, and the comforting embrace of cinnamon-sugar that elevates these pumpkin muffins to the realm of irresistible autumn indulgence.
