Soft, moist, and spiced Delicious Pumpkin Muffins with Applesauce made with cozy fall flavors. Perfectly sweet, easy to make, and great for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup milk (any type)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl.
3. Add flour, brown sugar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt to the eggs.
4. Mix in pumpkin puree, applesauce, and milk until well blended, avoiding overmixing.
5. Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling nearly full.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling or serve warm.
Notes
Do not use pumpkin pie filling, as it’s already sweetened and spiced.
Avoid overmixing to prevent tough muffins.
Filling the muffin cups about two-thirds full and checking for doneness with a toothpick helps prevent dryness.
