1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/4 cups canned pure pumpkin
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 15 standard muffin cups (2/3-cup capacity) with nonstick spray. Whisk both flours, both sugars, baking powder, spices, and salt in large bowl to blend.
