Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
