Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a muffin tin with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and stir until well incorporated.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients; pumpkin purée, eggs, milk, melted butter, maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla, and whisk to combine.
  4. Transfer the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold them together until the batter is well incorporated, being careful to not over-mix the batter. If adding mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit, fold them into the batter at this time.
  5. Divide the batter evenly across the prepared muffin cups. Transfer the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 21-24 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, allow to cool slightly, then transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature.
  7. The muffins can be served immediately, stored at room temperature for 2 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
