Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk thoroughly to incorporate.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir gently, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in optional ingredients like chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
