Cinnamon Pumpkin Muffins
Makes 12 muffins.
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
¼ cup regular sugar
¾ cup canned pumpkin
SWIRL
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Fill cupcake pan with liners.
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl and stir with a fork to mix. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs, and add the vegetable oil, ½ cup dark brown sugar, the regular sugar, and the pumpkin. Blend well. Dump in the flour mixture and mix with a spoon until just blended. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, combine the ½ cup dark brown sugar with the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
Fill the liners almost full. Add 1 teaspoon or so of the cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture to the top of each muffin. Using a cake tester or bamboo skewer, sweep through the muffin to mix the cinnamon into them.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
