Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together, being careful not to overmix. Stir just until no dry streaks remain.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 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

Enjoy your Shaker Pumpkin Muffins warm or at room temperature. These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
