    Sugar and Spice Pumpkin Butter Muffins. Pumpkin butter gives these muffins the most rich and sweet pumpkin-y flavour.

    muffin tin full of pumpkin butter muffins with cinnamon sugarIt would not be fall without a pumpkin spice recipe and here is this year's contribution - Sugar and Spice Pumpkin Butter Muffins.

    I've used pumpkin butter in these muffins (rather than just plain ole'  pureed pumpkin) and it really gives these an intense, creamy and rich pumpkin flavour. Like so pumpkin-y  ????

    Then each muffin is heavily spiced inside and out!  I've topped each muffin with brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice before popping them in the oven - because "it's a sugar and spice and everything nice" time of year.top view of pumpkin butter muffins in a muffin tin

    As you can see, these babies disappeared faster than I could take their picture. 🙂  I don't know what occasion may bring you having leftover pumpkin butter sitting around, but if you do, this is what you do with it. You may want to go out and get some.

    A few notes about these pumpkin butter muffins:

    •  If you want to make your own Pumpkin Butter, this version from the Minimalist Baker has not let me down. Note that I sub in a 796ml can for the 2 - 15oz cans, because the 796ml cans are usually all I can find - and I leave all other quantities the same and I've had no issue. Of course, you can also find pumpkin butter sometimes in supermarkets this time of year, or you can order it here if not.
    • You can make Pumpkin pie spice at home too, you probably have everything you need already in your spice cabinet. Here is a very old post with the recipe I use.. here is my recipe. You can also buy it here or sometimes at a well stocked grocery.
