Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of fall with these Classic Pumpkin Muffins. Soft, tender, and perfectly spiced, these muffins are a delightful treat for breakfast or a snack. Made with real pumpkin puree and a blend of autumn spices, they’re easy to make and can be customized with chocolate chips or nuts for an extra indulgence.


Ingredients

1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar

1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar

1 cup (240ml) pumpkin puree

1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1/4 cup (60ml) milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moisture, you can substitute the vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce.

These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave before serving.

Add a streusel topping or glaze for added sweetness and texture.
