Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, or lightly grease the wells with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped, toasted pecans, saving a few for garnish if desired.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the top of each muffin with a few reserved pecan pieces for decoration.

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

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Pecan Muffins!
