Pumpkin spice may have had its moment, but we’re here to stage a flavor rebellion. These Old Salem Pumpkin Muffins have been around since 1784, but we gave them a glow-up with our Peanut Butter Spiced Apple seasoning. Moist, fluffy, and topped with a sweet-salty crunch, these muffins are fall’s new main character. Sorry pumpkin spice lattes, you’ve officially been ghosted.
These muffins aren’t just baked goods—they’re baked history. Inspired by a recipe older than the U.S. Constitution (seriously), we kept the cozy pumpkin vibes but added a modern kick with Peanut Butter Spiced Apple. Think warm pumpkin, a touch of molasses, and little bursts of raisin sweetness—then crowned with a nutty, spiced-sweet topping that makes you want to hoard the whole batch.
Raisin Prep Party Toss raisins with 1 tablespoon flour so they don’t sink to the muffin abyss. Set aside.
Cream Dream In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth. Gradually add brown sugar and beat until fluffy.
Pumpkin Magic Beat in pumpkin, milk, molasses, and eggs until combined. (It’ll smell like fall just walked into your kitchen.)
Dry Mix Mojo In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves together. Slowly add this to your pumpkin mixture, stirring just until combined.
Mix & Fold Fold in your flour-coated raisins. Don’t overmix, unless you like sad, dense muffins.
Pan It Up Spoon batter into greased or lined muffin pans, filling almost to the top.
Bake Slide them into a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
The Grand Finale Let muffins cool slightly, then sprinkle generously with Peanut Butter Spiced Apple seasoning. Bask in the applause of your taste buds.
Pumpkin spice may be the cliché of fall, but these Old Salem Pumpkin Muffins are rewriting the seasonal flavor story. With the nutty-sweet magic of Peanut Butter Spiced Apple, they’re cozy, crave-worthy, and absolutely unforgettable.
Pro Tip
Swap raisins for chopped dates, dried cranberries, or even mini chocolate chips if you’re feeling rebellious.
These muffins freeze beautifully—just hold off on adding the Peanut Butter Spiced Apple topping until after thawing.
Want extra crunch? Sprinkle a little turbinado sugar on top before baking, then finish with the seasoning for a double-layer topping.
