I believe this is the first pumpkin recipe I ever made. I remember I made mini muffins. I assume I got this recipe out of one of my mom's cookbooks, since that was the only source my young teenage self knew of. There were no blogs, there was no pinterest, and no I didn't really read baking magazines when I was a teenager.
This is a very simple recipe. Not just simple to make, but also a very simple pumpkin taste. Many pumpkin baked goods can be so overloaded with spices (I am not saying that is a bad thing, I am just saying). This recipe keeps it simple with just nutmeg and cinnamon.
Pumpkin Muffins
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg
Mix all the ingredients just until flour is moistened. The batter will be lumpy. Coat 9 muffin cups with cooking spray and fill. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
If you want a little extra sparkle and sweetness, add 1/4 tsp sugar to the top of each muffin.
Also, the original recipe says this will make 12 muffins. However, I like my muffins big and plump so I only fill 9 cups.
Enjoy!
