Glazed Pumpkin Muffins with White Chocolate Chips

Friday, September 20, 2013 by Lolli 8 Comments

 

I was in the mood for pumpkin muffins this week (it’s that time of year, after all) and I decided to get a little creative with my standard pumpkin bread recipe and came up with this variation.

Because I wasn’t sure how the muffins would turn out, I made some with no chips, some with semi-sweet chocolate chips, and some with white chocolate chips. Some were glazed with a simple spiced glaze and others were not. And the verdict was unanimous: the white chocolate chips with the glaze on top were the winners!

KitKat brought the muffins to school and internship to share with friends and they agreed. We’re definitely making these muffins again.

Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or ½ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup finely ground nuts (pecans or walnuts)

  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Spray muffin tin with non stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, eggs, oil or applesauce (I used ¼ cup of each), butter, water, sugars and vanilla until well blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended.
  6. Add ground nuts, if desired, and white chocolate chips and stir until combined.
  7. Pour batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan and then carefully remove to a cooling rack.
  10. Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients (I simply mixed it with a fork). When muffins are cooled completely, sprinkle the glaze over each muffin and let the glaze set for at least 30 minutes before eating.

Glazed Pumpkin Muffins with White Chocolate Chips

The “secret ingredient” in these muffins is definitely the white chocolate chips. Although most of the chocolate chips melted into the bread, they made a big difference in the taste. I’ll be adding white chocolate chips to my pumpkin bread from now on! Of course, the glaze was pretty popular as well…I didn’t complain about having to lick my fingers a few times while I was glazing the muffins!

The nuts were a very subtle addition (none of the kids even knew they were there because I ground them quite fine in the blender before adding them to the batter. I’m just a fan of a hint of nuttiness in my breads.

    Hi Leanne! I believe this recipe makes a little over a dozen standard sized muffins, depending on how big you make them. It’s been a little while since I made this recipe so I don’t recall with 100% certainty. :)

    I can’t find how many muffins this makes. Has anyone actually made this recipe? The only comments seem to be from people who said they should make them. I’m curious how many standard sized muffins can be made with this recipe and if anyone has suggestions for improvement. Thanks.
