Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy, which is perfectly fine.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them 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 refrigerate for up to a week.
