Pumpkin Muffins


INGREDIENTS:

1.5 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp pumpkin-pie spice (or just cinnamon, which is what I did)

1.25 cups plus 1 Tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda1

1 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put liners in muffin cups, or spray muffin tin.
Mix flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
Whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs, pumpkin-pie spice, 1.25 cups sugar, baking soda in a large bowl until smooth, then mix in flour mixture until just combined.
Stir together cinnamon and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in another bowl.
Divide batter among muffin cups (each should be about 3/4 full), then spinkle tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Bake until puffed and golden brown and a wodden pick or skewer inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.


I made these for the first time this morning and I could not believe how easy and delicious they were!!
