How to make 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 5 – Sprinkle the turbinado sugar generously over the tops of the muffins.
Step 6 – Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 7 – Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
