How To Make brown butter pumpkin donut muffins

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray the cavities of a standard size muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside. Place the stick of butter in a non-reactive stainless steel saucepan and heat medium low heat until melted. Increase the heat to medium and cook the butter until bubbly and brown spots appear on the bottom of the pan, being careful not to burn. Measure out ⅓ cup for the muffins and allow to cool slightly, and set aside the rest.

    Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside. Place the brown sugar and eggs in a large bowl and add the cooled ⅓ cup brown butter. Whisk vigorously until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin, milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla, and whisk until combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when pressed gently. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from the pan.

    Place the sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a zip top bag, and heat the brown butter until it's melted. Brush each muffin with a light coating of the butter, and place in the zip top bag and roll around until well coated. Remove and repeat with the remaining muffins. Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
