Try these easy pumpkin muffins for a Fall brunch or any time of year. They are made with canned pumpkin, cinnamon, sour cream, and milk and finished with a sugar topping. If you are hosting a fall brunch or Thanksgiving brunch, these muffins are a nice addition to your food menu.
They are lightly sweetened, but not too much so the full flavor of the pumpkin comes through. Serve them with a quiche or eggs along with a apple fruit salad for a simple meal.
I made these using both a regular sized muffin pan and also a mini-muffin pan and both turned out great. They have a wonderful flavor that is not too strong.
A word of caution: This does make a pretty large batch, which is fine for a brunch, but if there will only be a few eating them, I recommend cutting the recipe in half.
