🕒 Let’s break down the cooking process:
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Total Time |
|---|---|---|
| 20 minutes | 20 minutes | 40 minutes |
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it’s nice and toasty for baking. While your oven is heating up, let’s gather our ingredients:
- 15 ounces of pumpkin puree
- 2 cups of brown sugar
- 1 cup of butter
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of evaporated milk
- 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 2 teaspoons of ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon of ground clove
Now that we have everything we need, let’s dive into the recipe instructions:
-
Cream Pumpkin and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Mix until creamy and well combined.
-
Add Butter and Eggs: Next, add the softened butter and eggs to the pumpkin mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate Juice and Milk: Pour in the evaporated milk and mix it into the batter until smooth and creamy.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, nutmeg, and ground clove. This will ensure that there are no lumps and that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in thirds, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The batter will be thick, so make sure to incorporate everything well.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with muffin cups or greasing it lightly. Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Be prepared for these muffins to rise beautifully in the oven!
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Rest and Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to rest in the tin for at least 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool for another 5 minutes before indulging.
