Salted Caramel Pumpkin Muffins

/ / /

Good morning, lovely people!  I’m really excited to share this delicious pumpkin muffin recipe that I created over the weekend. Tis the season for all things pumpkin, so this not-too-sweet pumpkin muffin is perfection with the extra sweet pizzaz of the salted caramel. Drool!

Of course, these muffins are also wonderfully delicious without the salted caramel glaze as well. 🙂

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup raw sugar
  • 2 t. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Combine all dry ingredients including nuts and cranberries.  Add eggs, milk, vanilla, butter and pumpkin. Stir just until moistened. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes until browned and center springs back when touched.

Makes 18-20 muffins.

Salted Caramel Glaze:

  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons white or raw sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1-2 Tablespoons confectioner’s sugar, sifted

Heat butter, sugars, salt, vanilla and milk over medium heat, stirring constantly. When mixture reaches a boil, boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and continue stirring. Add one tablespoon confectioner’s sugar to thicken. Use more if it needs to thicken up a bit. *Note: If you don’t have a whisk, then you should sift the confectioner’s sugar first to avoid lumps. I just dump the sugar in and beat out lumps with my whisk. :) Spoon the glaze over semi-cooled muffins.

Have you made a delicious pumpkin recipe lately? I would love to hear!!

  6. Just took them out of the oven. Gave one to my 18 yr old daughter. She came back saying it was the best pumpkin muffin she’d ever had. I kind of took offense, as she has loved my recipe for the past 10 years. Thank you for a new family favorite. Praying that you find the perfect house for your family.

  15. These were fabulous! BUT, not to sound like the allrecipes pages where they give it a five and then tell all the ways they changed it… I am not a fan of nuts in my desserts, and though I love dried cranberries, I also don’t want them in my baked goods, so I took the liberty of substituting chocolate chips for the the nuts/cranberries. Raw sugar is definitely NOT in my budget, but dark brown sugar worked just fin. SUPER YUM! I’m a salt-a-holic, too, and added an extra pinch of kosher salt to the caramel. What I really loved was how many muffins it yields – 20! I hate muffin recipes that only yield 12. These lasted several days in a plastic bag and were a great after school treat for my kids (yay for the extra tasty way to deliver veggies to their diet!). I’ll definitely be making these again!

  18. Made 11/20/12. Quite delish. I wanted to dip my whole muffin in the caramel topping- it was so good. Didn’t have an flaky salt so the muffins were just plain old Caramel Pumpkin. Ha! The salt would a a great kick. Next time I’ll bake them for about 12 minutes and keep an eye on them to see how they look. I can’t remember how long I baked them for this time, but they were a tad overbaked. Oh well!

  23. We just made these and I didn’t follows he recipe to a t, but didn’t think it would make that much difference. I used my mixer and I forgot to melt the butter and just used softened. The muffins came out very dense would this be why or did I do something else wrong?
