    Pumpkin Apple Muffins - Andrea Meyers

    I first made these a few years ago and they were a breakfast hit. Michael thought that they were perfect and didn’t need a single change to the recipe. The boys devoured them and my oldest asks for pumpkin muffins every day now. The combination of the pumpkin and apple makes a perfect fall breakfast or snack, and they are easy to make.

    I have tested this recipe with a variety of flours. I now use gluten-free all purpose flour blends such as King Arthur Measure for Measure, and it works very well. I originally made these with unbleached all-purpose flour and have also used whole wheat flour as well as a blend of part all-purpose and part whole wheat pastry flour.

    Equipment

    • muffin tin, lightly coated with cooking spray

    • 3-quart mixing bowl
    • small bowl
    • #20 scoop (large)

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (King Arthur Measure for Measure works very well.)
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 granny smith apple (peeled and finely chopped or grated)

    TOPPING

    Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 350° F/175° C.
    • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spice in a the 3 quart mixing bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
    • In the bowl of the stand mixer using the paddle attachment, mix sugar, pumpkin, melted butter, and eggs on low speed. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula just until moistened, about 15 turns. Fold in chopped apple and scoop into greased muffin pan, filling each cup about ⅔ full.
