Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin tray with paper liners.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly distributed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Integrate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Fold In White Chocolate Chunks: Gently fold in white chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Portion Batter: Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Top with reserved white chocolate chunks.
- Bake Muffins: Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure you use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
