Pumpkin Amaretto Muffins Recipe
I am always trying to find ways throughout the year to use up leftover cans of pumpkins. This is a favorite. It is nice in the fall months, but you could actually make these anytime of the year. Delightful!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup solid pack pumpkin
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. cloves
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup amaretto
Directions
- In a small saucepan, add 1/4 cup amaretto to the 1/2 cup of raisins. Simmer over low heat until raisins begin to plump.
- While your raisins are simmering, in a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, oil, eggs, baking soda and salt. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Fold in your flour and the amaretto raisins.
- Divide batter into muffin cups (about 3/4 full) and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
