Pumpkin Muffins

Adapted from a recipe I found online and perfect for the season.

Pumpkin Muffins

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole-grain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsulphered molasses
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 teaspoons brandy
• 1/3 cup skim milk
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamin, ginger, and nutmeg. In a seperate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, molasses, oil, eggs, pumpkin, and brandy. Then mix the wet and dry mixtures together; add skim milk and whipping cream.


Pour the batter into a muffin pan (use liners, or grease the pan). This recipe will make 12 muffins. Cook for approximately 30 minutes.

I guess I should add that while we did enjoy this pumpkin muffin recipe, it wasn't my favorite. I think this is because originally I was going to make pumpkin pancakes but then I realized that actually, I did not have time and also, neither D or I like pancakes so I ended up just throwing some stuff together. The taste was good, don't get me wrong, it just could have been better. So before making this recipe yourself, maybe ask around for a few other recommendations.
