Description

Soft, moist, and perfectly spiced, these pumpkin muffins are the ultimate fall bake, ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. Mix Dry: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Mix Wet: In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, both sugars, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine: Add dry ingredients to wet; stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Bake: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Let rest 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.

Notes

Don’t overmix to keep muffins light and fluffy.

Add-ins: chocolate chips, nuts, or a cream cheese swirl.

Store airtight at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze up to 2 months.

Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for healthier muffins.
