Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 large Apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the finely diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
