Can Pumpkin Muffins Be Frozen?

Yes! Pumpkin muffins freeze really well. Let the muffins cool completely and then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a ziplock freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter. You can microwave them briefly to warm them.

    Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins are a delightful twist on traditional pumpkin muffins. The rich, warm flavors of pumpkin and butterscotch combine to create a perfect fall treat. These moist and flavorful muffins are a must-try for anyone looking to add a touch of sweetness and autumn spice to their morning routine. A delicious way to embrace the season

  3. 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.

  4. Not good. They taste like flour and butterscotch chips. I don’t think there is enough of the pumpkin and spices

  5. 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 🙂

  6. 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.

  7. I just made these and they are DELICIOUS!!!It is so perfect for a fall morning(or afternoon, or evening, or ANY time)
