📝 Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

🥣 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin purée, oil, both sugars, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Combine

Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix! The batter will be thick.

5. Fill & Bake

Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool & Enjoy

Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

🧁 Optional Add-Ins

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans
