These Pumpkin Muffins are soft, fluffy, and bursting with warm autumn spices. Made with canned plain pumpkin, they are easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups plain canned pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or spray it with cooking spray if you don’t have liners.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin, eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently just until you cannot see any dry flour. It’s fine if the batter looks a little lumpy.
  4. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, gently fold in chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving.

Notes

  • Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, substitute with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  • You can add chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor, if desired.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the pan to prevent breaking.
