Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cups raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.

Step 3

In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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.
