Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.
Step 2
Whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Combine brown sugar, applesauce, pumpkin, eggs, white sugar, buttermilk, and oil in a large bowl; mix until well blended. Stir in flour mixture until combined. Fold in raisins and pecans. Divide batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing muffins to a wire rack.
