Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

For a healthier twist, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and unsweetened applesauce instead of vegetable oil. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
