  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Muffin Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oat Topping

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Prepare Oat Topping: If desired, mix the oats, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of this oat topping onto each muffin cup for added texture and flavor.
  7. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin pie spice or a homemade blend for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • These muffins freeze well; wrap tightly and store in a freezer-safe container.
  • For a healthier version, substitute oil with applesauce, but expect a slightly different texture.
  • Ensure pumpkin puree is pure and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.
