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 well 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 thoroughly combined. This ensures effective leavening and even spice distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform. This creates a rich base for your muffins.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter, allowing space for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, substitute half of the sugar with a natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey, adjusting wet ingredients accordingly.
  • You can add ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Make sure eggs are at room temperature to help create a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil will add a subtle coconut flavor and make the muffins dairy-free.
