Bakery-Style Pumpkin Muffins
Description
This recipe mixes whole wheat flour with baking powder and soda to create a leavened base for the pumpkin muffins. Light brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice contribute sweet and spiced notes suited to fall flavors. The wet ingredients include canned pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract, which add moisture and binding, resulting in a soft, moist crumb.
The batter is stirred just until combined to avoid overmixing, preserving the muffins' tender texture. Pepitas sprinkled on top add a contrasting crunch and nutty flavor. Baking at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes produces muffins with a golden crust and moist interior.
The muffins can be customized by folding in semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter and topping with extra chocolate chips before baking, offering a variation with additional sweetness and texture. These muffins hold well for a few days and make handy grab-and-go treats.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or canola or light olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup Pepitas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir all dry ingredients until well mixed. Create a well in the center and add in the eggs, pumpkin, oil, honey, and vanilla. Stir until dry ingredients are just absorbed. Scoop into muffin tins 2/3 way full and top with a sprinkling of pepitas.

Notes
- For a chocolate twist, fold 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter and sprinkle more on top before baking.
