Bakery Style Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Muffins

caramel pecan pumpkin muffins

But first, my first pumpkin recipe of the week are these yummy Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Muffins! It took me a few tries, but I finally got the recipe just right!

I always strive to bake muffins that are just like the ones you would find in a bakery! These pumpkin muffins are not exception. I really is easier than you think!

The first step is to get them to rise nice and high. I prefer not to use muffin liners. I spray the entire pan with non-stick spray. That way, when the rise up over the edges they are still easy to get out without sticking.

I always fill the muffin tins right to the top. The way I can be sure they will get a nice rise. After all, isn’t the muffin top the best part?!

Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Muffins

The next step to a bakery style pumpkin muffin is the topping! I made a simple streusel topping including chopped pecans. It really adds a slightly sweet, soft crunch!

A ribbon of caramelly dulce de leche is the perfect touch for these decadent pumpkin muffins. They would really make any bakery take notice!

Now, I know you are eager to have the recipe, not to mention enter to win some fabulous prizes (US residents only)!

    My favorite recipe that I started making last year was using either pumpkin or butternut squash to make gnocchi (which I make enough to freeze some for later) and then use a brown butter sauce with sage or basil (I like to change back and forth), I made this quite a bit last year so I’m looking forward to doing the same this year.
