Deliciously soft and moist pumpkin muffins, perfect for fall. Easy to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results. Don’t overmix the batter. Add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
