Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
If using chopped walnuts or dried fruit, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins 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 leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
