Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. Mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir until well combined.
  4. Blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Add nuts or chocolate chips if desired, folding them into the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a cream cheese filling, add a dollop of cream cheese to the center of each muffin before baking. Adjust spices according to your preference.
