Easy Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a muffin tin (12 muffin cups) with paper liners (or grease a non-stick muffin tin with butter).
- In a bowl, add flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and stir to combine.
- In another large bowl, add the eggs and whisk them with a fork. Add the pumpkin puree, canola oil, milk and vanilla and stir with a spoon to combine until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir with a spoon to combine until the batter is smooth.
- Using the spoon, put the mixture into a muffin tin (it should fill 12 muffin cups to make 12 large muffins).
- Put the pumpkin muffins in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
These are perfection!!! I put the batter I had left over in a mug and microwaved it for 1:30.
Do these freeze well??
Yes, they freeze perfectly!
Easy peasy good as any coffee shop.. perfect, used ice cream scoop to fill cases.. real crowd pleaser!
These are wonderful. I made in a deep 6 pan. New fav-Thanks. I will have to try more of your recipes.
I made your chocolate chip muffins and they look amazing!!! I haven’t tasted yet as they just came out of the oven…. my question is, these pumpkin muffins call for only 1 tsp baking powder, the chocolate chip called for 1tbsp! Why the difference? And will the pumpkin ones be as tall?? I’m making for a bake sale and the tall ones look amazing!
There is more batter in the pumpkin ones, so the muffin cups are filled with more batter in the first place, so they don’t need to rise as much to be tall :) They always turn out big for me!
If I could give this five stars I would! I added a teaspoon of each cloves and nutmeg to add more of a Fall flavor. So moist. I love it. I think this will be my new go to recipe.
Can I use Olive oil or Avocado oil if I don’t have Canola oil??
Yes, you can use any oil instead of canola oil. I would choose avocado over olive oil, as olive oil has a pretty strong flavor.
Made these following the recipe exactly and they are absolutely delicious!!!! Wonderful recipe! Thank you!!
Can we use home made pumpkin puree?
yes
These pumpkin muffins are a new favorite! So easy and tasty
Thanks for the foolproof recipe my house smells amazing! My family love this recipe.
