I like making caf\u00e9 muffins with big, fat dome tops. The secret to achieve this effect is a 3-prong attack: Bring them out when the tops are no longer soft and gooey to the touch. Let them cool for at least 30 mins before diving in, lest you burn your mouth off. Ask my husband why I put this disclaimer in. He will tell you allllll about the singed skin in his mouth. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Easy Caf\u00e9 Pumpkin Muffins:<\/strong> Mix the batter until all the ingredients are happy with each other.

\n1. Overfill the muffin tin wells. Trust me!
\n2. Resist,<\/strong> at all costs, the urge to drop the muffin pan on the counter to burp the batter because you are conditioned to stop filling 2\/3rds of the way up. Trust me!
\n3. Bake the muffins at 425 degrees for the first 5-8 mins, and them drop the temp to 350 degrees for the next 22-25 mins. Trust me!<\/p>\n
