Mary Ellen’s Sour Cream Pumpkin Muffins

Makes 10 standard or 8 large muffins

Ingredients:

¾ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup whole wheat flour

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp fine sea salt (regular salt is okay)

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (so it doesn’t curdle the egg)

1/3 cup plus 2 T light brown sugar

Set aside another 2 T brown sugar for sprinkling on top of the muffins

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

¾ cup pure pumpkin puree

½ cup sour cream

1 large or extra large egg (lightly beaten)

2 T pepitas

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your muffin tin or line with paper baking cups.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
3. In a second bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar (except for the 2 T you’ve set aside). Combine well. Stir in the vanilla extract, pumpkin puree and sour cream. Stir in the lightly beaten egg.
4. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. If you stir this too much, the muffins will come out too dense.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 of the way. Sprinkle some pepitas and brown sugar on top.
6. Bake standard muffins for about 20 minutes and larger muffins for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out nice and clean when inserted into the center of a muffin.
7. Let muffins cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. These taste awesome served warm with some cream cheese!
