Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Leavening and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F and setting up a muffin tin with paper liners or light grease.
- Create a dry ingredient foundation by whisking flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Craft a liquid mixture by blending eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until achieving a harmonious, smooth consistency.
- Merge the dry and wet ingredients with gentle precision, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain the batter’s delicate texture.
- Distribute the batter evenly across the muffin tin, filling each compartment approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising during baking.
- Position the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, using a toothpick test to verify complete cooking – the inserted pick should emerge cleanly.
- Allow the freshly baked muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes, enabling initial settling and easier removal.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to reach room temperature and develop their final texture and flavor profile.
Notes
- Toast flour beforehand to enhance nutty flavor and reduce raw flour taste in cookies.
- Chill dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and create chewier texture.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner baking surface.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for richer, more complex flavor profile.
