Ingredients

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

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 pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
