Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree, canned or homemade
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (60ml) plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Use an ice cream scoop for easy portioning.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
