Ingredients

  • 4 oz Butter
  • 2 cups All purpose flour 240g
  • 2 tsp Baking powder 9g
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda 3g
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar 213g
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract 4g
  • 1 cup Pumpkin purée 250g
  • 2 tsp Ground cinnamon 5g
  • 1 tsp Ground ginger 2g
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg 1g
  • 1/2 tsp Salt 7g
  • 12 tsp Salted caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit and add liners to your muffin tin.
  • Brown your butter. To do this, add 4oz butter to a small saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently. Let it melt and cook for a few minutes, or until it reaches a deep amber hue. You’ll see it slowly start to brown throughout this process. When it's done, remove it from heat and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
  • While the brown butter cools, add flour, baking powder, and baking soda to a separate medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. Then set to the size.
  • Pour the brown butter into a large bowl along with 1 cup light brown sugar. Mix to combine, then add 2 eggs, 1 cup pumpkin purée, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix once more.
  • Now add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • Fill each muffin indentation halfway with batter. Then add 1 tsp salted caramel sauce to each, followed by more batter until they're 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake for 19-22 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick into the center of a muffin and pull it out cleanly. Let cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!
