Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar or granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin pan with liners.
  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold together until fully combined.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin liners, filling each one to the top.
  • In a small bowl combine the remaining ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon and turbinado sugar. Sprinkle over the tops of the muffins.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean. Enjoy!

Notes

Add ½ to 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter to make pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
Or add in chopped pecans!
