I love pretty much any dessert that involves pumpkin, so I thought that I would share with you all my super simple recipe for Pumpkin Walnut Muffins.

The best part about this recipe, at least to me, is that

It uses the entire big can of pumpkin!

Yep, no wasting 1/2 to 1 cup of pumpkin that so many recipes do. Then that pumpkin just sits there in your fridge until it goes bad or you just toss it… at least that’s what always happens to me and I can’t be the only one that that happens to.

Easy and delicious big batch (3 dozen) Pumpkin Walnut Muffins. It uses an entire large can of pumpkin. They're delicious and moist and perfect for a bake sale or large gathering. lifeshouldcostless.com — Pumpkin Walnut Muffins

If you’re new to my recipes, you’ll find that I prefer to dump and mix because it takes little effort but you’re still cooking from scratch…( I know, I’m lazy as heck, but it is what it is).

This just happens to be one of those recipes so it shouldn’t take too long to make them.

I will say that this makes a large batch of three dozen, so be prepared for that.

Even though it makes that many, my piggy little family of 5 will scarf them all in one day if there’s nothing else around to snack on. My youngest eats three in one sitting because she likes them so much.

Before we dive right into the picture tutorial, I wanted to share with you links to five of my other delicious recipes that you’re going to love too:

Now back to learning how to make some super delicious Pumpkin Walnut Muffins:

Like I said before, you literally just dump and mix this recipe. So here is everything added to the mixer, minus the walnuts.

(These are old pics, so please excuse some of them for sucking until I have time to re-shoot the pics for this post.)

Now here that is all mixed up.

Next we add the Walnuts!

Then mix those in.

Now we either grease your cupcake tin or add liners and, using a standard ice cream scoop, fill them up.

Of course, I had to add another after shot to get you excited about making these again…here they are on the cooling rack.

Now, as you’ve been waiting for… here is the recipe!

Yield: 3 Dozen

Pumpkin Walnut Muffins

Delicious and moist easy pumpkin walnut muffin recipe that uses the entire large can of pumpkin!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Additional Time 10 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

4 C Flour (wheat is best)
1/4 C Flax Meal
3 C Sugar
1 C Oil
6 Eggs
1 (29 Oz Can) Pumpkin Puree
1 C Water
1 T Baking Powder
2 t Baking Soda
2 T Pumpkin Pie Spice (you can use a little less)
2 t Salt
2 C Walnuts (chopped)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In the bowl of your mixer, add all the ingredients but the Walnuts.
Mix well.
Add the Walnuts, mix well.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. It allows the flax meal time to gel up and get fluffier.
Use a standard ice cream scoop and either grease your muffin tins first, or fill cupcake liners (reusable silicone liners work too).
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes after removing them from the oven and then pop them out onto a couple of cooling racks.

Notes

Do not seal these muffins in a bag to save some for later. It traps in the moisture and they get all gooey. It's better to leave them uncovered and maybe just stick them in a covered display case, or cool oven for later.

It was funny when my kids saw me working on this post. They asked if I’d make some of these right then. They just like them that much and I hope you like them too.
