How to cook deliciously - Pumpkin Muffins

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs, pumpkin and water. Editor’s Tip: Use room-temperature eggs (instead of fresh-from-the-fridge eggs) so the ingredients will mix evenly. This will give the baked muffins more volume. Just make sure you follow safety best practices when baking with room-temperature eggs.

2. Stage

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt in a separate bowl.

3. Stage

Pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture. Whisk everything together, being careful to not overmix. Once everything just comes together, fold in the raisins and walnuts until they’re dotted evenly throughout the batter. Editor’s Tip: For the fluffiest muffins possible, be sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing develops the gluten, which can lead to tough and dense muffins. Instead, mix the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined.

4. Stage

Grease muffin tins, or line them with cupcake liners. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each tin about 3/4 full. Editor’s Tip: We like to use a cookie scoop for this step to evenly disperse the batter among the muffin cups. This ensures consistent baking time and a uniform look.

5. Stage

Bake the muffins for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean. Test a few of the muffins in the middle of the muffin tin since they take a bit longer to bake through than the outer ones.
