Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- In a separate bowl, cream together sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For mini muffins, reduce baking time to 15-18 minutes.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Top with cream cheese frosting for a decadent treat.
- Ensure you are using pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
