Total time: 40 mins
Servings: 12 servings
Yield: 12 standard muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
- 1 1/4 cups (270g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions
- Preheat oven and prepare the muffin tin: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a standard muffin pan with muffin liners, or grease each well with butter.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Whisk until combined and homogenous.
- Make the batter: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Stir with a large spoon or a rubber spatula just until combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix. It is okay if there are some lumps in the batter.
- Divide the muffin batter: Divide the batter evenly among the cups. Each well should be filled nearly to the top.
- Bake the muffins: Bake muffins for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
- Cool the muffins and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature.
