Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée
- 1½ cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- Prepare the oven and muffin tins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until all spices and leavening agents are evenly distributed.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil or butter for a different flavor profile.
- These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- For added texture, consider folding in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Adjust spices if you prefer a milder or stronger pumpkin spice flavor.
