My Best Pumpkin Muffins Recipe

My Best Pumpkin Muffins Recipe for Fall Baking


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Add the oil, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix well.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped pecans for extra indulgence.
  • Swap the milk for buttermilk for a slight tang.
  • For a bakery-style touch, sprinkle raw sugar on top before baking.
  • Make mini muffins by reducing baking time to 12–14 minutes.
