MOIST PUMPKIN-SPICE MUFFINS FROM THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously grease 12 muffin tins. NOTE: I used a large muffin tin, which is dark. In this case, turn down the oven by 25°F. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter with two knives or a pastry blender until it is fully incorporated. NOTE: I'm lazy. Using a food processor, you can pulse the butter into the flour in seconds! In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Add raisins. Fold gently until mixture is just combined. Pour into a greased muffin pan-batter hardly ever fills all twelve unless you keep it down to 1/2 full. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar-nutmeg mixture over the top of each unbaked muffin. (I forgot to do this, and I still loved the muffins) Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. If icing with the cream cheese frosting: NOTE: The muffins are sweet and moist, and since these were for breakfast, I didn't want to add icing. Your choice! To make the frosting, mix all ingredients on high until soft and whipped. Spread onto completely cooled muffins, or place into a large pastry bag with a large star tip and go crazy! Store in the fridge, as icing will soften at room temperature.

TIM HORTONS PUMPKIN SPICE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin papers.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Then mix in 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the pumpkin seeds.
• In separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, pumpkin puree, oil, milk, and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with remaining pumpkin seeds. Bake in center of a 375°F (190°C) oven about 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are golden and tops are firm to the touch. Let cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
• While the muffins are baking, whisk together the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. (If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more lemon juice. If too runny, add more confectioner's sugar.) Set aside.
• When muffins are cooled completely, inject each muffin with a generous amount (1-2 tbsp) of cream cheese frosting and enjoy!
