Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C. Line a muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- Add pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla to a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices until evenly combined.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill Muffin Cups
- Spoon the batter evenly into muffin liners. Fill each about three-quarters full for best rise.
Bake the Muffins
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove muffins from the oven. Let them cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for better flavor control.
- Add chocolate chips for a sweeter muffin version.
- Chopped nuts add a nice crunch and texture.
- Replace oil with melted coconut oil for a mild coconut flavor.
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a bakery-style finish.
