Preheat and Combine Ingredients
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a medium bowl, combine the homemade muffin mix, milk, pumpkin puree, and butterscotch chips. The aroma of butterscotch will fill your kitchen as you mix!
Mixing the Muffin Batter
Stir the mixture gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix! A tender muffin is what you want, so stop mixing once no dry ingredients remain visible. The batter should be thick yet moist, ready for the oven.
Baking Your Butterscotch Muffins

Using a large cookie scoop, fill lined muffin cups with the batter. This ensures uniform sizes, making them perfect for sharing. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy the warm, inviting scent as they bake!
Tips for Perfect Butterscotch Muffins
Avoiding Overmixing for Tenderness
To achieve the perfect tender muffin, remember that overmixing will lead to toughness. Mix just until the ingredients come together. It’s a simple step that makes all the difference!
Ensuring Uniform Muffin Sizes
Using a cookie scoop not only helps in portion control but also ensures that all muffins cook evenly. Each bite will be as delicious as the last!
Oven Temperature and Baking Time
Maintaining the right oven temperature is crucial. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before placing the muffins inside. This guarantees they rise beautifully and develop those lovely golden tops.
