How To Make Pumpkin Pie Muffins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 18 regular-size muffin cups by lining with muffin papers or coating generously with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, spices, baking soda, ginger and salt. Stir in the raisins. Make a well in the center of the bowl with the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, pumpkin, buttermilk, canola oil, molasses, vanilla and eggs, stirring well with a whisk.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle each muffin with granulated sugar and bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove muffins from pans and cool on a wire rack.
Cooking Note From Mr Breakfast
To top my muffins, I made a buttercream frosting by beating together 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 solid shortening, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 cups powdered sugar and about 1 Tablespoon milk. I divided the frosting and made some orange and the other half into a light pink - which I then piped onto some of the muffins in the form of a brain.
*If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by mixing together 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon allspice or cloves.

From Lisa from UK What do you think of Pumpkin Pie Muffins?
Hi, I'm from the UK and a 1st time visitor to your site. We don't have cup measures like you, do I use any cup in my cupboard. Also, what's the difference between baking powder and baking soda? and what is buttermilk? Your recipes look great but can we have a UK/US conversion table on your site so I can try and make some.
