- Toothpick (for testing doneness)
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground ginger

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves).
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined. Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.

Notes
Tips for Baking Success:
- Don’t overmix the batter. Gently folding the ingredients together will help ensure your muffins stay light and fluffy.
- For added texture, you can fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
