Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure your muffins remain tender.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delicious on their own or served with a dollop of whipped cream or spread of butter.
