Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup (240g) canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  • Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Mix the batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
  • These muffins freeze well! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
