Pumpkin Muffins (Tuesdays with Dorie)

Pumpkin Muffins (Dorie Greenspan)
Dorie calls these, "Pumpkin Muffins."
I've renamed them "Super Delicious Tastes of Fall Pumpkin Muffin Delights!" Sure, a bit long, but a more accurate description!

Kelly of Sounding My Barbaric Gulp chose this week's recipe from Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours (page 13). Oh man. I love these muffins. It is my third time making them! I told you, I love these muffins!

I made them according to the recipe, but added pepitas (pumpkin seeds) on top. Next time, I will probably switch or combine the raisins with dried cranberries as many other TWD bakers did.

I made them once and baked them at the recipe's 400 degrees. However, I felt that was too hot and made them at 350 instead. Other TWD bakers took them out of the 400 degree oven early - so watch the time!

Nutty, raisiny insides!

I 100% agree with your amended title - these were wonderful little bites of fall! So cute too.

Hi Dorie-- I just made some the other day... don't you just love Pumpkin? I had to use winter squash (it is more in abundance here than the American Orange variety.)

Your snaps are fabulously fantastic, may I ask what type of camera you use?

Total agreement here. The name should be changed. They were rather incredible weren't they?
Happy fall to you too!

I love fall. And pumpkin. I put pepitas on top too--they were quite tasty--I don't think I'd had them before this. Your muffins look delicious!

Ha I love your amended title! I had a little mishap with these and didn't love them, but you're so convincing that I think I will have to try again!

Beautiful muffins. I loved the sunflower seeds on top, but the pepitas sound even better.

sounds like you've had a lot of practice with these ;) great job! yours look so nice, i love the deep orange color (mine were kinda yellow for some reason). i think i would do 350* next time as well.

Love the new name! I am looking forward to baking with pumpkin now that it's so cool outside.

I love the orange color of your muffins. They remind me of Fall! Those toppings make it look so appealing. Awesome additions and awesome job.

Oh, pumpkin goodness and yumminess! Pretty, pretty pictures, and I can almost smell them!

Jenny said... [Reply to comment]

Those look beautiful! I love the black background. I have been baking with pumpkin like crazy over here. I hope to try these too.

First time visitor to your blog! Love your up close photos. Also, I like the nut combo "crown." Don't you? They really look pretty and I imagine the saltiness of the nut is a nice flavor combo with the soft spiciness of the muffins. I'll have to try that next time. You must be a chockylit reader, with the cups. They make a pretty presentation. Great new name.

I suspect I will be making these again and again too as I am getting rather hooked on eating one each morning. I just removed tomorrow's muffing from the freezer so it will be ready to go in the morning!

Love your revised title! I might have to borrow that one next time I serve these! I've also made these multiple times -- we love them! Your pictures are gorgeous! Love the pumpkin seeds on top.

Your pictures turned out beautifully! Pepitas did add a nice touch to this recipe. I love that you renamed them. The name totally fits!
