Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins soft and tender.
  • Room-temperature eggs blend more easily into the batter.
  • Fill muffin cups evenly for consistent baking.
  • Check for doneness at the 18-minute mark.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the pan.
