The full title of this recipe is Moist Pumpkin Spice Muffins (With Cream Cheese Frosting) I could only add what I added for the title. These are by far the best pumpkin Muffins ever. I'm afraid I'll have to borrow a photo from the actual web-sight I got the recipe from. My camera isn't working otherwise I'd post my own photo.

How To Make moist pumpkin spice muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease 12 muffin tins.
  • 2
    Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter with two knives or a pastry blender until it is fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Add raisins. Fold gently until mixture is just combined.
  • 3
    Pour into a greased muffin pan—batter hardly ever fills all twelve unless you keep it down to 1/2 full. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar-nutmeg mixture over the top of each unbaked muffin.
  • 4
    Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. Ice with cream cheese frosting.
  • 5
    To make the frosting, mix all ingredients on high until soft and whipped. Spread onto completely cooled muffins, or place into a large pastry bag with a large star tip and go crazy! Store in the fridge, as icing will soften at room temperature.
