Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pumpkin Muffins

Recipe Description

These Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pumpkin Muffins are flavorful, moist, and beyond delicious. They are fully packed with pumpkin and topped with cinnamon sugar. I like to serve them as a tasty snack or grab-and-go breakfast. Either way, they disappear in no time because homemade muffins are so much better than anything you can buy at your next-door café.

This recipe yields 12 large muffins. But if you have a standard-sized 12-cup muffin pan and are not in the mood for baking a storm, you can easily divide the recipe in half. The batter for these pumpkin muffins is made simply with all-purpose and oat flour, vegetable oil, eggs, and a full cup of pumpkin purée for that yummy pumpkin flavor and additional moisture. These muffins keep well at room temperature for up to 3 days, and they also freeze well. Once baked and cooled completely, transfer the muffins to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

To make these Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pumpkin Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:

I made these pumpkin muffins for a Sunday family breakfast and they were gone in minutes. The kids loved the sweet cinnamon sugar on top. It took me back to my grandma's kitchen, where the smell of fresh baking always made us smile. Definitely a thankfull addition to my recipe book.
