Warm, cozy, and bursting with autumnal flavors, these spiced pumpkin muffins are the perfect treat for fall mornings or anytime you crave a little seasonal comfort. Packed with aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, these muffins blend the earthy sweetness of pumpkin puree with the richness of brown sugar, creating a moist and tender crumb. Made with just 15 minutes of prep time, they’re an effortless way to bring the flavors of fall to your kitchen. A sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top adds a delightful crunch, making each bite irresistible. These easy-to-make muffins are ideal for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert—serve them warm or store them to enjoy throughout the week!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy, which is perfectly fine.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
