Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup toasted and chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If using nuts, fold them into the batter using a spatula.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pueblo Pumpkin Muffins with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
