- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp (227 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (113 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup (177 mL) buttermilk, room temperature
- 1/4 cup (57 g) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped walnut pieces, reserve 2 tbsp to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F/177°C. Line a cupcake pan with 12 muffin or cupcake paper liners.
- In a small saucepan, add butter. Cook over medium heat while stirring until the butter starts to turn golden brown and the milkfat starts to caramelize (you will see brown little specks in the butter). Pour the butter into a shallow bowl and place in the freezer to cool for 15 minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the cooled brown butter, eggs, egg yolk, buttermilk, and pumpkin puree into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until homogenous. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. It’s ok if you’re batter is lumpy. Fold in the chopped walnut pieces making sure to reserve 2 tbsp for the top.
- Spoon the batter into each cupcake tin until it is 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the reserved walnut pieces. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then place on a rack to cool completely.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerate for up to one week or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. To thaw the muffins, microwave for 1-2 minutes.
