Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (228 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 can pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup (154 grams) packed brown sugar, light or dark
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Instructions

  1. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375 F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices; whisk to blend and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, pumpkin, eggs, and milk; whisk until well blended.
  4. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the wet ingredients and whisk to blend.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a spatula or spoon to mix until well combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Spoon or scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each well. I use an ice cream scoop.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Remove the muffins to a rack and cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve them warm or at room temperature.
