Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients
- 220 grams (1 3⁄4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters (1⁄2 cup) vegetable oil
- 100 grams (1⁄2 cup) granulated sugar
- 100 grams (1⁄2 cup) packed brown sugar
- 340 grams (1 1⁄2 cups) canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters (1⁄4 cup) milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt until well combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk, whisking until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and fold together gently with a rubber spatula just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
- Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then, without opening the oven door, reduce temperature to 350°F. Continue baking for 16-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Total baking time is 21-22 minutes. The initial high-temperature bake helps create tall, domed muffin tops.
