These sweet Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins are perfect for fall. The flavor of pumpkin goes surprisingly well with butterscotch. And there’s lots and lots of butterscotch chips in these made from scratch muffins. Perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee.
Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins are flavored with lots of fall spices- cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. They make the house smell wonderful while they are baking in the oven.
I love to bake pumpkin treats during the fall months and I especially like to be able to start the day with something pumpkiny like these muffins or this Pumpkin Coffee Cake. Scroll down for more pumpkin recipes.

My friend makes these with a cake mix. Spice cake mix dry in a bowl, add in one can of pumpkin (not pie mix), then add a bag of butterscotch morsels. bake at 350 for 20 minutes. no egg, no oil. just dry cake mix and pumpkin then morsels. so good.
Not good at all… very bland had to throw whole batch out disappointed.
Will it work to substitute the flour for gluten free baking 1 to 1 flour?
Not good. They taste like flour and butterscotch chips. I don’t think there is enough of the pumpkin and spices
Loved these muffins! Great recipe. I decided to do 1/2 butterscotch and 1/2 white chocolate chips. Topped with a sprinkle of walnut pieces & cinnamon sugar. Delicious 🙂
That does sound delicious! 🙂
These are now my favorite pumpkin muffin – they baked up perfect, moist and delicious ! The combination of pumpkin and butterscotch wins out over chocolate chip this fall ! Thanks for a great recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them Jean!
