Pumpkin Muffins

½ cup canola oil

½ cup light brown sugar(packed)

⅓ cup granulated sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 cup pumpkin puree

¼ cup milk

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour

1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

½ cup walnuts(chopped)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Line the cavities of a 12-cavity muffin pan with muffin/cupcake liners.

Place the canola oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, eggs, pumpkin puree, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until smooth and combined.

Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is just combined. Do not over-mix.

Fold in the walnuts, mixing until they are evenly distributed in the batter.

Scoop an equal portion of batter into each muffin liner.

Bake the muffins on middle rack of oven for 5 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 14-16 minutes.

Check to see that muffins are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for 3 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs, milk, and oil to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and prevent lumpy batter that leads to dense muffins.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold wet and dry ingredients together gently until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, rubbery muffins instead of tender crumb.
Toast Your Walnuts First 🌰
Lightly toast walnuts in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before adding to the batter to intensify their nutty flavor and add depth to your muffins.
Fill Cups Strategically 🧁
Fill muffin cups two-thirds full and place a small spoonful of batter in the center of each empty cup to ensure even baking and prevent doming.
Test for Doneness Perfectly 🔍
Use a toothpick inserted into the center—it should have a few moist crumbs, not be completely clean, as pumpkin muffins continue cooking slightly after removal from heat.
