- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsps. pumpkin spice
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 6 soft caramel squares double to 2 per muffin if you like a lot of caramel
Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a large muffin tin with liners. If using a 12-count pan use standard liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
Add all wet ingredients directly to the dry ingredients and combine thoroughly with a spoon until just combined. Do not over mix or it will not be fluffy.
Scoop batter into muffin tins 3/4 of the way.
Add one caramel square to each muffin center.
Top of caramel squares with more batter. They will be filled all the way up to the edge of the cupcake liner.
Sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar.
Bake muffins for 25-30 minutes. Muffins will feel firm and have no visible signs of batter seeping out when gently pressed.
The caramel is best enjoyed when muffins are warm. I do not recommend eating them piping hot.
Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide.
Caramel may be omitted - these will still taste delicious without it.
When muffins cool, the caramel turns back into a soft, chewy candy.
To heat, place muffin in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
These freeze well, but will need to be heated before enjoying them thanks to the caramel middles. Freeze for up to 30 days.
