How to Make Kansas Pecan Topped Pumpkin Muffins Good Housekeeping

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup melted unsalted butter or margarine, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Sprinkle the tops of each muffin generously with ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for 15 seconds before enjoying.
