Pumpkin
Muffins Recipe
|
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205
degrees C). Place rack in the middle of the oven. Line 12 muffin cups with
paper liners or
spray with a non stick vegetable spray.
In
a medium sized bowl mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, and oil.
In a large mixing bowl,
combine the flour, bran, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add
the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just
combined. Fold in the raisins. Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough when baked.
Fill the muffin cups
with the batter using two spoons or an ice cream scoop. Place
in the oven and bake for about 18 - 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to
cool.
