I roasted my Halloween decorations (yes, pumpkins), and I couldn't figure out what to make until I found this simple Pumpkin Muffins recipe. I was surprised by how well they turned out, so I'll write down the recipe here (plus my tweaks). You'll get 14-16 regular-sized muffins.
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used Sunflower) or melted coconut oil
1/2 granulated sugar
1/3 light brown sugar (using 1/2 of light brown and then 1/3 of granulated sugar would work well too, just don't cut down on the sugar, because they are the perfect amount of sweet)
2 eggs
1 + 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin puree, because I am not doing this recipe unless I have fresh roasted pumpkins.
1/4 cup milk (any works)
1 + 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 + 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 + 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (I'd also try replacing this with nutmeg)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (plus a few for decorating the top)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus a few for decorating the top)
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Whisk the oil, sugars, pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk.
Add the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt. Combine well.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and the dark chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter to 90-95% of the cup. Sprinkle a little light or dark brown sugar on top, plus chocolate chips and walnuts, so they look pretty.
Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the oven to 350°F and keep baking for another 17 minutes.
