Why this recipe is so great:

  • Quick and easy to make – This recipe is completely made by hand. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes in the oven.
  • Melt-in-your-mouth good – These muffins are so soft and moist they practically melt in your mouth. This is because most pumpkin muffin recipes contain only 1 cup of pumpkin puree while this recipe contains 1&1/2 cups. That extra 1/2 cup not only gives these muffins extra pumpkin flavor, it also makes the muffins cottony soft and keeps the muffins moist for days longer.
  • Pumpkin spice and everything nice – These muffins are loaded with pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and the beautiful aroma of vanilla. They are rich and buttery, and perfectly sweet.
  • Here are some reviews:

How to store:

You can store these pumpkin muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Because these muffins are quite moist, it's best to reheat them in the oven after the first day. Warm up the muffins in a 350F preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until crisp on top.

How to freeze:

Once completely cooled, place the muffins in a freezer-friendly container or ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Then reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes to freshen up the muffin. A pumpkin spice muffin on a piece of burlap with a wooden tray of muffins behind.
