These pumpkin muffins are the ultimate treat, fluffy and packed with pumpkin spice, thanks to the addition of applesauce. Easy to make in one bowl with minimal mess, they yield 12 large muffins that are perfect for any occasion.
1: In a bowl, stir together the purée, applesauce, oil, eggs, sugars, and buttermilk.
2: Add all of the dry ingredients and stir until batter is smooth.
3: Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into each muffin cup nearly full.
4: Sprinkle tops with sugar.
5: Bake at 350°F for 16-19 minutes. Tap the top of muffins; they should bounce back when finished.
