  • Step 3: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, egg, canola oil, applesauce, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

  • Step 4: Gradually incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients in batches. Be sure NOT to overmix, overmixing results in dry muffins, you should still have a slightly lumpy batter.

  • Step 8: Bake for 23-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

  • Step 9: Allow muffins to cool completely.
