Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For fresh pumpkin puree, roast a sugar pumpkin until tender, scoop out the flesh, and blend until smooth.
Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking adds a nice finish.
