Fall is in the air and with fall weather comes baking in my house. I love the way the house smells and how cozy it makes it feel too! What better way to celebrate fall than with a fresh batch of pumpkin chai muffins!
What makes these muffins so perfect is that this is a one-bowl recipe. No need to drag out the big mixer either! You simply melt the butter, add the sugar, pumpkin and spices and then add in the flour. Whisk it together and you’re done!
Once you scoop the batter into the muffin tins, rinse out the bowl and use it to make the crumb topping.
How To Make Pumpkin Muffins From Scratch
This recipe is simple. Simple in it’s ingredients and in it’s directions. I don’t like recipes that have ingredients you have never heard of. Or that incorporate so many items you are scrambling to buy them. This is a one-bowl recipe that gives you the best pumpkin muffins made from scratch!
This is something that you can throw together last minute with pantry staples. Flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, pumpkin, butter and spices. And if you don’t have all the spices, use what you have. That’s it!
Can you Freeze Pumpkin Muffins?
Yes! I like to make 2 batches of muffins and freeze half. You can even take a few out the night before to make for an easy breakfast too! Who doesn’t love pumpkin muffins for breakfast?
How To Store Pumpkin Muffins
If you are going to freeze your pumpkin muffins, put them in an air tight container and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Otherwise, you can store your pumpkin muffins in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. Although, these muffins taste better the sooner you eat them.
