Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp ground cardamom
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C) and grease the sides of a 12-cavity cupcake tray.
Step 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract for 5 minutes at a medium speed.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and canned pumpkin.
Step 5
On the lowest speed, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined between each egg. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by half of the pumpkin mixture. Repeat and then add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Step 6
Use two spoons to fill each cavity of the cupcake tray about 1/2-3/4 full. Bake the muffin in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until touching the top of each muffin springs back lightly.
Step 7
While the muffins are baking, make the flavored sugar. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom.
Step 8
Once muffins have come out of the oven, allow them to cool for about 1 minute before removing from the pan and placing directly into the sugar mixture to coat.
Step 9
Cool on a wire rack.
