Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup whole milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Grease or spray two mini muffin tins.
  3. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Blend in pumpkin.
  4. Sift flour with baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 
  5. Add alternately with the milk to the pumpkin batter. Do not over mix.

Kitchen Notes

This recipe is easily doubled. These muffins freeze well and reheat nicely. Squash and sweet potatoes are equally good in this recipe. If using sweet potato, simply poke holes in two or three potatoes, microwave for 7 minutes, and roast at 375 degrees F. until super soft and silky inside.
