Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) canned pumpkin puree
  • ⅔ cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (70g) packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. If using, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick. Muffins are done when toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and rise. Do not overmix batter to keep muffins tender. Fresh spices enhance flavor. Oil keeps muffins moist longer than butter. If batter is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons milk. Avoid opening oven door frequently to prevent sinking. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
