Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Perfect Pumpkin: Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the sweetness and spice levels in your muffins.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking! Adding a pinch of cloves or allspice can give your muffins an extra kick.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your muffins during the last few minutes of baking. A toothpick should come out clean when they are done.
- Storage Tips: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
- Add-Ins Galore: Consider adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for an extra layer of flavor and texture!
