  • 1 Muffin Baking Pan
  • 1 Whisk or Large Spoon
  • 12 Muffin Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp Ground Cloves
  • ¼ tsp Ground Ginger
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ cup Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract Check out our Small Batch Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ and prepare your muffin baking pan with paper liners. Consider spraying the inside of the liners with cooking oil to help remove the muffins after baking.
  • Grab your large mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Also mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  • Grab your medium mixing bowl and use a handheld or stand mixer to beat the eggs. Then, add in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it is well combined, usually ~2-3 minutes.
  • Carefully add the mixing bowl of wet ingredients (from Step #3) to the dry ingredients (from Step #2). Stir until just combined and do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Grab the prepared muffin baking pan and use a spoon or scoop to fill the muffin cups ⅔-¾ of the way with the muffin batter. 
  • Bake @ 350℉ for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Carefully remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. You can also transfer to a wire rack to cool further. Now they are ready to enjoy!
