Homemade Pumpkin Muffins Baked in Small Quantities

============================================================

In the spirit of autumn, we present a delightful small batch recipe for Pumpkin Muffins. This recipe, which makes just four muffins, comes together swiftly and effortlessly with minimal equipment, making it perfect for a cosy kitchen gathering.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) neutral flavored oil (such as canola, grapeseed, or vegetable oil)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Muffin liners
  • Granulated sugar, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), positioning a rack in the center. Line a 4-, 6-, or 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour warm water into the empty cavities of the muffin pan, filling them at least 2/3-rds of the way up. Using a 1-, 2-, or 3-Tablespoon cookie dough scoop, portion out the batter, filling each cavity with 6 Tablespoons of batter. Top each muffin with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
  6. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until the muffins are domed and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these super light and fluffy small batch pumpkin muffins, each with a tall domed muffin top and a crunchy sugar coating, tasting like pure pumpkin spice. Happy baking!
