Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until evenly mixed.

Mix the Wet Ingredients:

In a larger bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs (at room temperature), granulated sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just incorporated. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy, but do not overmix.

Fill the Muffin Tin:

Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake the Muffins:

Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Muffins:

Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.

Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Enjoy:

Serve your pumpkin muffins warm and enjoy!

Notes

Room Temperature Eggs: Be sure to use room temperature eggs to help the batter mix more evenly.

Batter Texture: The batter will be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins soft.

Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.

Add-ins: Consider adding chocolate chips, walnuts, or cranberries for extra flavor and texture.
