Double Pumpkin Muffins Recipe

Double Pumpkin Muffins

From deedeec 16 years ago

A lovely hearty pumpkin muffin recipe. Great for breakfast or snacks. The "Double" is the pumpkin puree and pumpkin seeds. This is my recipe.

NUTTY STRUESEL TOPPING:
Combine all struesel ingredients in mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter, or two knives, "cut" until ingredients form a pea size crumbley consistency. Put in frig to keep cold till ready to use.
MUFFINS:
Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt (dry ingredients) in medium mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, pumpkin, brown sugar, raisins, pumpkin seeds (optional), and oil (or butter). Mix well, till frothy.
Fold Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients. Gently fold until "just" mixed. Should be lumpy. Over mixing will create a "tougher" muffin because you activate the gluten in the flour.
Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin; grease or line with paper cups.
Scoop mixture into cups. Top each with a spoonful of Streusel Topping.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Toothpick inserted in center should come out clean. If still wet, back another minute or two and retest.
Remove muffins and cool on wire rack.
