Some mornings, I wake up without a clue what to make the family for breakfast. The only thing I know - it won't be cold cereal. It also won't be pancakes this morning because we are out of syrup. So, I got the idea to make pumpkin muffins. Believe it or not, I didn't have a recipe in my every day cook books. I decided to look in my Geels Gastronomy Cookbook (my hubby's family cookbook). There it was - a recipe for pumpkin muffins.
Let me tell you this - DELICIOUS!
So, I thought I would share.
Pumpkin Muffins
1 1/3 cups flour (I used fresh ground soft white wheat)
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup raisins (I omitted this because my kids don't really eat them.)
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup milk
Mix together dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Add raisins if desired. Combine egg with pumpkin and milk. Then add to dry mixture. Mix only until combined. Fill greased muffin pans 3/4 full. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
Like I mentioned these were wonderful! They were very moist as well. I will definitely be making these again.
sounds amazing! I bet that it would be good with butternut squash too!
ReplyDeleteI would think it wouldn't taste much different.
DeleteWe love pumpkin anything here! Yum!
ReplyDeleteoh, yum! I've been looking for a really good pumpkin recipe. I have tons of pumpkin puree in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteWe like pumpkin/squash muffins too. I also don't do cold cereal (except homemade granola once and a while) and we are also currently out of syrup so that leaves out pancakes, French toast and such. We are also currently nearly out of eggs so I am having to be creative with our breakfasts until we made another trip to the store. My daughter is going to make a breakfast cake/bread (with banana and pineapple) tomorrow morning which I think we will serve with sliced cheese.
ReplyDeleteI have mornings, like this morning, when I am trying to figure out what to serve with the eggs because there is no bread. I am out of soft white wheat, which means whatever I make needs to be made with hard wheat. Not as fluffy. I suppose I could use rice flour or something similar.
