Holiday Recipe from SPL

Pumpkin Muffins

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 and 1/8 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light or dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 15 oz pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 3/8 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin pan or line with muffin liners. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add oil and whisk until combined. Add pumpkin and milk and whisk until combined. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and mix gently just until combined. Divide batter evenly into muffin pan. Bake for 16-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
