Let the pumpkin season begin! Other than Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Spice, and Pumpkin Nutella Bread, this is the reason for desserts and more desserts. These easy one-bowl muffins are a little dense since we use pumpkin puree.

We baked them in regular-size muffin tins, but you could also use mini-muffins. These are a breeze to make, even if you forgot to take out the butter from the fridge, as we use it melted and slightly cooled. One tip here is to make sure that the milk and the egg are at room temperature, as they can combine evenly with the rest of the batter.

Easy Pumpkin Muffins

Adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction
Makes 12 regular-sized muffins

Ingredients:
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
½ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar, for the topping
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, for the topping

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 12- muffin pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together. Add the egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and milk and whisk to combine. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then whisk until just combined. Avoid over-mixing. The batter will be thick.
Divide the batter into the muffin pan. Mix the remaining sugar and pumpkin spice mix, and sprinkle on top.
Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then keep the muffins in the oven, reduce temperature to 350°F, and bake for an additional 16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, place the pan on a wire rack, and allow the muffins to cool before serving.
