Pumpkin Muffin Ingredients These are the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this pumpkin muffin recipe: Pumpkin puree: Use canned pumpkin puree or make your own at home. Butter: Melted butter lends moisture and rich flavor. Sugars: A combination of white and brown sugars creates the perfect flavor. Water: You’ll need ¼ cup of water. Eggs: Two eggs add moisture and help bind the batter together. Vanilla: A teaspoon of vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor. Flour: All-purpose flour creates structure in the pumpkin muffin batter. Spices: Pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon add deep, warm flavor. Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won’t make the muffins taste salty. Leaveners: Baking powder and baking soda act as leaveners, which means it helps the muffins rise.

Really good with maple syrup!” “Delicious,” raves Kate. “I added a pecan on top of each one. I may try adding chopped pecans into the mix next time.
