Sugar and Spice Pumpkin Butter Muffins

Pumpkin butter gives these muffins the most rich and sweet pumpkin-y flavour.

It 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  ????

A few notes:

•  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.
