Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the two eggs lightly. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and then mix until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts carefully to ensure even distribution.

Step 6

Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delicious Pumpkin Nut Muffins!
