Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400ΒΊF (200ΒΊC).
-
Sift together the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sifting helps to ensure a smooth and evenly textured batter.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, lightly beat the egg. Then, add in the milk, pumpkin, and oil. Mix until well combined.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture all at once. Stir gently until just combined. Remember, it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Overmixing can result in dense muffins.
-
Fold in the raisins: Gently fold the raisins into the batter until evenly distributed. The raisins add a delightful burst of sweetness and texture to the muffins.
-
Grease the muffin tin: Prepare a muffin tin by greasing each cup to prevent the muffins from sticking. Note: Avoid using paper cups as the batter may stick to them.
-
Fill the muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the greased muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This allows room for the muffins to rise and expand as they bake.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Enjoy the aroma: As the muffins bake, your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of warm spices and pumpkin. It’s a true delight for the senses!
-
Serve and savor: Once baked to perfection, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These Pumpkin Muffins are best enjoyed warm with a dollop of butter or your favorite spread.
These delightful Pumpkin Muffins are perfect for breakfast on-the-go, a cozy afternoon snack, or a delightful addition to any fall gathering. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of homemade goodness with every bite. Happy baking! ππ§‘
