Ingredients

for the muffins

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil

for the topping:

  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, egg, milk, and oil until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling the wells 3/4 full. Bake 11-13 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Dip the muffins in the melted butter, coating all surfaces, then roll the muffins in the sugar mixture.
