Extra Fine Granulated Pure Cane Sugar Bag

Ingredients

Pumpkin Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour*
1 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 whole eggs

Topping

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with liners or spray well with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl mix together pumpkin, butter, and eggs until smooth. Pour into flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Divide evenly into prepared muffin tin. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cook for 5-10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Brush the top of muffins with melted butter. Roll in sugar mixture to coat. Place on wire rack to cool completely.
