Chocolate Ginger Pumpkin Muffins Recipes

CHOCOLATE-GLAZED GINGER-PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line sixteen 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups; set aside. In a medium bowl stir together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
• In a small bowl stir together the pumpkin, melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centers of muffins comes out clean. Remove muffins from muffin cups; cool completely on a wire rack.
• Dip the tops of the muffins into the Chocolate Glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip off. Place dipped muffins upright on the wire rack. Sprinkle tops of muffins with chopped crystallized ginger. Let stand for 30 minutes or until glaze sets.

PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate, larger mixing bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, molasses, melted butter, and eggs until well blended.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then by hand with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir very gently to combine; stop as soon as the flour disappears. The batter will seem loose and a little lumpy.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them no more than 3/4 of the way to the top. Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon sparkling sugar.
• Bake the muffins for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly when touched and a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Place the muffin pan on a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the muffins from the pan and transfer to the rack to cool completely. These taste even better as they rest. Enjoy!

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and use a rubber spatula to mix together just until combined. Fold in the chopped ginger.
• Fill the muffin tins about ¬æ full and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Allow the muffins to cool in the tins for 15 minutes then remove from the tins and place on a wire rack cool completely.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 10-second intervals on high, stirring with a rubber spatula in between. When it is about 80% melted, remove it from the microwave and stir until it is completely smooth. Dip the top of each muffin in the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and let stand for 15 minutes to set.
