Pumkin Muffins

I have been looking at these all month and I have been wanting to make them. Sorry Jenni I have been so lazy this month I promise I will do better next time and I will get around to making these muffins.

Pumpkin Muffins

You will need:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup canned 100% pumpkin
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin-pie spice
• 1 1/4 cups plus sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Topping:

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Line a Texas-sized 6-cup muffin tin with 6 paper liners and spray each liner with a nonstick spray. Or you can use a standard 12-cup muffin tin, but you’ll get about 10 muffins.
• In a medium-sized bowl sift together the flour and the baking powder. Set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin, oil, eggs, spice, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
• Whisk in the flour mixture until combined. Do not over-mix.
• In a small bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, sprinkling the cinnamon-sugar on top of each muffin.
• ake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Cool for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack.
