Moist, perfectly spiced pumpkin muffins that everyone will ask you to make again. This recipe delivers soft texture and classic autumn flavor.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ground cloves: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup
  • Brown sugar, packed: 1/2 cup
  • Large eggs: 2
  • Vegetable oil: 1/2 cup
  • Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling): 1 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until you have just combined the batter. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute melted butter for the vegetable oil for a richer taste.
  • For an extra treat, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of the batter before baking.
  • These muffins freeze well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
