Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve the Maple Pumpkin Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
