Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the finely diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
