Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1¼ cups sugar (white or mix of white and brown)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • For a healthier option, reduce the sugar quantity slightly or use a mix of white and brown sugar.
  • To enhance flavor and texture, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature to help the batter mix more evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in dense, tough muffins.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
