Description

These moist and flavorful Pumpkin Muffins are a perfect fall treat, packed with warm spices and the natural sweetness of pumpkin puree. Easy to prepare and perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins are soft, tender, and filled with cozy autumn flavors.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until evenly combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure tender muffins.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for proper rise and shape.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a streusel topping for extra flavor and texture.
  • These muffins stay moist for several days when stored properly.
  • You can freeze the muffins for up to 2 months for longer storage.
