As I mentioned in my last post about pumpkin doughnuts, I’m deep into fall baking, which has all been pumpkin-related so far. After my friends and I ate all of those pumpkin doughnuts in a matter of a few hours, I was left with nothing to share with our family that was visiting the next day. I wasn’t going to give up an opportunity to bake for other people (less for me to eat, hooray!), so I got out another can of pumpkin and just kept right on baking.
I made pumpkin oatmeal cookies too (look for those in a couple of days) but these muffins were my personal favorite. These are moist, soft, and full of pumpkin and fall spice flavors. I added some golden raisins, which I thought was a nice touch, although my 4-year-old niece disagreed. (Note to self: add chocolate chips instead next time she comes over.)
I made these muffins as minis, which are the perfect size for a little snack, and also gave us tons to relish over several days.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie)
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, baking soda, and salt. Add raisins and make a well in the center.
- In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, pumpkin, buttermilk, oil, molasses, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk together until combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients bowl. Mix until everything is just combined. Fill each muffin liner until 3/4 full with batter.
- Bake for 12 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
