🥣Ingredient Notes

• Pumpkin pie spice - Adds that classic fall flavor.
• Apple sauce - Adds sweetness and moisture, while replacing some of the oil.
• Pumpkin - Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
• Raisins - These pack a lot of flavor and add a great texture.
• Butterscotch chips - Provides a warm, sweet flavor to the muffins and pairs well with pumpkin.

📋Step by Step Instructions

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl.

STEP 2: In another large bowl, combine sugar, canned pumpkin, eggs, apple sauce and water. Mix until blended.

STEP 3: Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the pumpkin batter and stir to moisten.

STEP 4: Stir in raisins and butterscotch chips.

STEP 5: Prepare muffin pan with cooking spray. Fill greased muffin tins ¾ full and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out dry.

Let muffins cool and serve while still warm so the butterscotch is nice and gooey. If you really want to be decadent, spread some real butter on these.

We hope you enjoyed our these easy pumpkin muffins. Try one for breakfast with a side of fruit. Yum!
