Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and milk.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pumpkin and milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added texture.
