  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  3. Add eggs, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and combined—not overmixing.
  4. Scoop batter evenly into muffin tin cups, about 3/4 full. Optionally sprinkle with nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top before baking for extra flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To freeze, wrap individually and store for up to 3 months, then thaw at room temperature or warm in microwave.
