There is something so comforting about the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon baking in the oven. These muffins are a favorite in my kitchen because you do not even need an electric mixer to get them perfect every single time. They stay nice and moist, making them a great choice for a busy morning breakfast or a sweet afternoon snack.

My biggest tip for this recipe is to make sure you use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling. The filling already has sweeteners and spices added, which will throw off the balance of the recipe. If you want to make them feel extra special, go ahead and toss in a half cup of chocolate chips before you bake them.

🧺 Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla extract.
4
Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Divide the batter evenly among the twelve muffin cups.
6
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

Store your leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, they freeze beautifully for up to two months. Serve them warm with a little bit of butter for a real treat.
