Recipe Notes

Vanilla instant pudding mix really changes the game in pumpkin muffins. It adds moisture and a subtle vanilla flavor to these muffins. It also helps to keep the muffins soft and tender.

To check for doneness: insert a toothpick or a cake tester into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the muffins are done. If you see wet batter, they need more time in the oven.
