Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup crystallized ginger, chopped finely

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger to distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill the mini muffin cups about 3/4 full with the batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your perfectly spiced Pumpkin Ginger Mini Muffins!
