Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree, grated fresh ginger, vanilla extract, and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s fine if some small lumps remain.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to 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 for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
