Ingredients
Scale
For the Muffins:
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin, vegetable oil, and water until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure that the canned pumpkin is pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some additional spices on top before baking.
