Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold everything together until just incorporated; avoid overmixing.
If using raisins or diced apples, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly across the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your flavorful pumpkin muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
