Should You Refrigerate Pumpkin Muffins?

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t give much thought to pumpkin muffins once they’ve been baked. But if you’re looking to maximize the shelf life of your pumpkin muffins, it’s worth considering whether or not you should refrigerate them. pumpkin muffins are made with a perishable ingredient (pumpkin puree), so they won’t last as long at room temperature as other types of muffins. However, pumpkin muffins will stay fresh for up to a week if stored in the fridge. So if you’re not planning on eating them all within a few days, it’s best to pop them in the fridge. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving, as pumpkin muffins are best when they’re warm and fresh out of the oven.

Is Pure Pumpkin the Same as Pumpkin Puree?

You’re in the baking aisle of the grocery store, pumpkin in hand. But wait – there are two types of pumpkin! One is labeled “pure pumpkin,” while the other is simply pumpkin puree. So what’s the difference? And more importantly, which one should you use for your pumpkin muffins?

The answer might surprise you – pure pumpkin and pumpkin puree are actually the same thing! “Pure pumpkin” is simply a marketing term used to distinguish it from pumpkin pie filling, which contains sweeteners and spices. So if your recipe calls for “pure pumpkin,” don’t worry – pumpkin puree will work just as well.

So now that you know there’s no difference between pure pumpkin and pumpkin puree, you can go ahead and stock up on both for all your fall baking needs!

Ok, so when you think of muffins you don’t normally think of pumpkin and carrots being yummy, right? Well just take a look at these photos – you might just change your mind! The shredded carrot actually acts as a moistener as well as adding vitamins to an otherwise regular muffin. You could probably use zucchini as well but haven’t tried that with pumpkin so don’t hold me to it.
