Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 units eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 12 units chocolate kisses
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, large eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut.
Step 5
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Unwrap the chocolate kisses and press one into the center of each muffin, ensuring it is mostly submerged but still visible on top.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the chocolate) comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Coco Kiss Pumpkin Muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
