Simply Pumpkin Muffins are moist, fluffy, and perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Made with real pumpkin purée, they’re a quick and easy fall treat that’s great for breakfast, snacking, or dessert. Add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts make them extra delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional toppings: rolled oats or pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Top with oats or pumpkin seeds if desired.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use homemade pumpkin purée if thick and well-drained.
  • Reduce sugar by 1/4 cup for a less sweet version.
  • Whole wheat flour or part oat flour can be used for a healthier twist.
  • Make mini muffins by baking 12–14 minutes instead.
  • Add a cinnamon sugar sprinkle or cream cheese swirl for variation.
