Disneyland is famous for its seasonal treats, and one favorite during the fall is the pumpkin muffin. These pumpkin muffins are a perfect combination of warm fall spices, rich pumpkin flavor, and a tender, moist crumb. These muffins are versatile, making a great snack, breakfast, or dessert, and can be made in advance to enjoy throughout the week. The best part? You don’t need a ticket to Disneyland to enjoy them! Here’s how you can make the Disneyland pumpkin muffin recipe at home and bring a bit of autumnal Disney magic to your kitchen.
Cooking Tips
You will need a hand mixer to mix the eggs and sugar. I like the Hamilton Beach 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer with Whisk. But, don’t use the hand mixer to mix in the dry ingredients or you will spray flour everywhere! Don’t ask me how I know. The original recipe asked for dark brown sugar but I substituted light brown sugar and it was really good! You can also adjust the amount of sugar or use a sugar alternative, like stevia.
