Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup water

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and water to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
