- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- For extra texture, add ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
