Servings: 24

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Instant butterscotch pudding mix

1 package (3.4 oz)

Baking soda

2 tsps

Salt

¼ tsp

Ground cinnamon

1 tbsp

Ground allspice

½ tsp

Ground ginger

½ tsp

Ground cloves

¼ tsp

Crystallized ginger slices

1/3 cup, small chopped

Butter

1 cup, softened

White sugar

1 cup

Brown sugar

1 cup

Eggs

4, of room temperature

Pure vanilla extract

1 tsp

Pumpkin puree

1 15-oz can

Pre-heat oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4.
Grease 24 muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, pudding mix, and salt. Mix in ground spices and chopped crystallized ginger.
In another large bowl, beat softened butter with both sugars until whiter in color, light and fluffy (use an electric mixer). Beat in eggs, one at a time, vanilla and pumpkin puree.
Stir in the flour mixture, but do not beat too much. Mix until just incorporated.
Divide the batter between muffin cups. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden and spongy (the tops will spring back when pressed lightly). Set aside for 10 minutes to let cool in cups, remove from cups and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Top with a cream cheese cap (use your favorite recipe or the filling for this Pumpkin Roll recipe)
