Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pumpkin Puree Perfection 🎃
    Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the sweetness and texture of your muffins.
  • Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️
    Bloom your pumpkin pie spice in the oil before mixing to intensify and release the full depth of warm spice flavors.
  • Moisture Magic 💧
    Replace some of the canola oil with unsweetened applesauce to keep muffins ultra-moist while reducing overall fat content.
  • Mixing Mastery 🥣
    Avoid overmixing the batter - stop stirring as soon as dry ingredients are just incorporated to prevent tough, dense muffins.
  • Topping Transformation 🍁
    Sprinkle raw turbinado sugar on top of the muffins before baking to create a beautiful, crunchy caramelized top.
