Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1¼ cups sugar (white or mix of white and brown)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and sugar. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure the oil is coconut or vegetable and avoid any added dairy toppings.
  • Adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips can enhance texture and flavor.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
