Ingredients

  • cups (235g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 (15oz) (425g) canned pumpkin puree
  • cup (125g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) oil (canola, avocado, or coconut)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Line or lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin; set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and ginger; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients JUST until combined. Using a large scoop, evenly distribute the batter in prepared muffin tin. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a FEW crumbs. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing if didn't use liners.

Notes

  1. STORAGE: Store completely cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. I like them the second day best because their flavors have had time to meld.
  2. FREEZER-FRIENDLY: Freeze completely cooled muffins in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature.
