Oh my gosh I can’t say enough good things about this bourbon pumpkin muffins recipe! I found it last year in the Better Homes & Gardens pumpkin issue, but I didn’t have a chance to make it since I was so busy wedding planning. This year, I made it my first order of business for fall baking. It did not disappoint! These pumpkin muffins are gooey inside and just the right amount of sweet. My husband took them to the office, and they were gone within 45 minutes!
This bourbon pumpkin muffins recipe is extremely easy to make. There’s no dairy, and you could easily switch the flour out for a gluten free flour if needed.
Happy baking!
