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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fill muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for proper rise and shape.
- 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.
- 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.
