What do you serve with muffins?

There’s nothing like a warm, pumpkin spice muffin on a chilly autumn morning. But what do you serve with them? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

If you’re looking for something sweet to pair with your muffins, try honey or maple syrup.

For a savory option, spread on some cream cheese or peanut butter.

If you want something in between, go for yogurt or fresh fruit.

For a savory twist, try serving pumpkin spice muffins with a creamy sage sauce or your favorite fall soup.

No matter what you choose to serve with your pumpkin spice muffins, they’re sure to be a hit!

Do I need pumpkin pie spices?

There’s no need to buy expensive pumpkin pie spice!

We make our own for this muffin recipe.

Simply combine ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger.

This is a much more cost effective way, so there’s no need for store bought pumpkin pie spice.

Pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling

It’s fine to use unseasoned pumpkin puree, or canned pumpkin, but do not use canned pumpkin pie filling.

Pumpkin filling has additional ingredients that we simply don’t need or want in our pumpkin spice muffins.

What makes a muffin moist?

When it comes to baking, there are few things more disappointing than a dry muffin.

But what exactly makes a muffin so moist and irresistible? Here are the secrets to making the perfect muffin every time.

The key to making a moist muffin is all in the ingredients.

First, fat. Whether you use melted butter, oil, or even yogurt, adding fat to your muffin batter will help keep them moist.

Second, eggs. The proteins in eggs act as binders, helping to hold everything together and prevent dryness.

And lastly, liquid. Too much liquid will make your muffins dense and heavy, but not enough will make them dry and crumbly.

The key is to find the perfect balance.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.

Another important tip is to not overmix the batter.

Overmixing can result in a tough, dry muffin.

So be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.

Finally, bake the muffins until they’re just barely cooked through.

How do I store leftover pumpkin spice muffins?

You can store your pumpkin spice muffins in an airtight container with a paper towel lining, for up to 4 days.

Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

They freeze well for up to 3 months.
