I am in "fall mode" over here and that means pulling out all my favorite warm, spicy and comforting fall recipes. This is my ALL TIME favorite muffin recipe- it tastes like autumn! It started out as a recipe for a spiced pumpkin loaf that I have been making for years and then I decided to turn it into muffins- perfect for a cozy family breakfast, to give as a housewarming gift or just to eat all by yourself (like I did while creating this post).
FYI- this is a LARGE recipe- makes about 24 muffins but can be cut in half.
Start by mixing-
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
next-
with an electric mixer beat 3/4 cup butter, softened
3 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
Add one egg at a time and mix thoroughly.
Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture.
Add 2 cans of pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie mix.
Mix everything together.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
3/4 cup of raisin (and/or favorite nuts)
mix again
Spoon batter into a well greased muffin tin.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes our clean
Prepare glaze-
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1-2 teaspoons of milk
Remove muffins from the tins.
Once cool, drizzle the glaze lightly over the top.
pile on top of a plate and serve!

That just made me starvacious.
Not only do they sound delicious, but they also look amazing.
Oh my, but you do show the most scrumptious food here. My favorite fall food is Pumpkin Muffins (even better with a cup of tea). I will have to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing! :)

I so enjoy your blog!

I have that exact same and hand mixer as you. It is the same color and everything. The first time I saw it on your blog it freaked me out. I use mine all the time. I was planning on making pumpkin cookies next weekend, but I'll have to try these pumpkin muffins now!
My little daughter and I made these on Sunday morning, halving the recipe and skipping the glaze. They were SO, SO, SO good. A ton of muffins ensued so we made goodie bags for the neighbors - a nice treat. Thanks so much.
These muffins are so lovely! I am drooling right now! I can't wait to try it.
1-2 teaspoons of milk....thats not right
