You’ll absolutely love these Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins. I always thought making muffins from scratch seemed slightly intimidating, but it’s really so much easier than it seems! As much as I love a good shortcut cake mix recipe (like our blueberry cake mix muffins), there’s just something so satisfying about making something completely from scratch!
These muffins combine pumpkin and butterscotch for a surprisingly sweet taste. They are the perfect fall recipe. And the best part is, when they bake in the oven, they make your whole house smell amazing.

How to Make Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a second bowl, mix together eggs, butter, and pumpkin. Slowly add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients. Add in 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips. - Spray a muffin tin (or use muffin tin liners) with cooking spray. Pour batter into the muffin tins, so they’re about 2/3 full. Sprinkle remaining butterscotch chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- This recipe makes perfectly fluffy, moist muffins every time. It will usually make about 15-18 muffins (depending on how full you fill the muffin tins).
- We love them served for breakfast, as a quick snack on the go, or as an afternoon treat with hot chocolate or apple cider.
Recipe Notes
We think the pumpkin and butterscotch make a winning combination, but you could definitely substitute other ingredients in their place. We like to substitute in the following ingredients: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, white chocolate chips, crumb topping, topped with glaze, or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Storage Instructions
Counter: Place any remaining muffins that you tend to eat the tender snickerdoodle muffins next 2-3 days in a ziplock bag and store them on the counter.
Freezer: Store these in a freezer-safe ziplock freezer bag for up to 3 months for the best results for the delicious muffins.
