Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients
  • ½cup vegetable oil
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Sparkling sugar (optional)


Procedure
These muffins are great on their own. For a special treat, top the muffins with cream cheese frosting.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners.

To a medium bowl, add oil, sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, water, and cinnamon; whisk together.

To a large bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices; whisk to combine. Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients; whisk until incorporated; do not overmix.

Scoop or spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with sparkling sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer muffin pan to a wire rack to cool.
