Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (340g) canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (dairy or nondairy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or liners.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
