Ingredients

1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
½ cup milk
½ cup butter melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup pepita

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line the cavities of a regular size muffin pan with paper liner or spray with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and mix thoroughly with a whisk.
Add pumpkin puree, egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix with a whisk until smooth.
Fold the flour mixture into the liquid mixture with a spatula until just combined.
Divide batter equally into the previously prepared muffin pan. For fuller muffins, divide batter into 11 cups, otherwise divide evenly among 12 cups.
Sprinkle about a teaspoon of pepita over the top.
Bake for 20 - 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
Remove muffins from the pan and let cool completely.
