Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
- These muffins are best enjoyed warm soon after baking for optimal flavor and texture.
- The batter can be baked in a loaf pan as an alternative to muffins.
- Swap out pumpkin puree for sweet potato or butternut squash puree if desired.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Adjust espresso powder to increase or decrease coffee flavor intensity.
