Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until no streaks of flour remain, but do not overmix.
  5. Use a small scoop or spoon to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle brown sugar on top before baking or mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried cranberries. Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better blending.
