Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a standard cupcake pan with 6 paper liners, leaving an empty cup in-between each.

|
Add the canned pumpkin purée, avocado oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture until it's very smooth.

|
Then, add the all purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and Kosher salt. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together just until there are no more streaks of flour. A few lumps are ok! If you have time, cover the bowl and let the batter sit for 15-30 minutes to give the baking powder a head start.

Using a cupcake scoop, divide the batter between the muffin liners, filling them all the way to the top. Sprinkle the tops with roasted pumpkin seeds or raw sugar, if using.

Bake the muffins for 5 minutes. Then, without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 350°F (177°C) and bake the muffins for 14-16 more minutes, until an inserted toothpick has just a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Bring eggs and canned pumpkin purée to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and prevent lumpy batter that results in dense muffins.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Stir ingredients just until combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, rubbery muffins instead of the tender, tender crumb you're after.
- Toast Your Pumpkin Seeds 🎃Lightly toast raw pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before topping to enhance their nutty flavor and crunchiness for superior texture contrast.
- Oil Choice Matters 🫒Use mild neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil rather than strongly flavored options—they won't compete with the delicate pumpkin spice profile.
- Cool in Pan Briefly 🧊Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out—this prevents them from breaking apart while still warm and allows them to set properly.
