Serve these delicious pumpkin muffins straight out of the oven, or at least warm them up before digging in. A glass of milk accompanies them nicely.
Fall is my favorite season, and one of the things I look forward to most is indulging in all the delicious pumpkin treats that come with it. From pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin pies, there are many tasty ways to enjoy this beloved squash. But my absolute favorite has to be my homemade pumpkin muffins.
These muffins are moist, fluffy, and packed with all the warm spices that make fall special. They’re also incredibly easy to make, so even if you’re not the most experienced baker, you can still whip up a batch in no time.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Pumpkin Pureé
- Flour & Sugar
- Baking soda & baking powder
- Salt
- Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice,
- Vegetable oil
Can I Substitute Something for the Oil in this Pumpkin Muffin Recipe
You can absolutely substitute apple sauce (exact amount) for the oil in this recipe. I found that they were not as moist, though. And I felt like the applesauce took away some of the pumpkin flavor. That is just my opinion, though.
Can Your Favorite Pumpkin Muffin Recipe Be Frozen?
Yes! Yes! Yes! If they can last that long. I love to wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. This way, I can grab one and go!
Optional Toppings
You can add toppings to your muffins, such as a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple glaze. My fave topping is a sprinkle of cane sugar right on top before baking. It adds a delicious crunch.

Favorite baking tools
A well-equipped kitchen and baking tools can make all the difference in achieving perfect results, which is why having a few favorite baking tools is essential for every baker. Here are a few of mine:
My KitchenAid mixer is a workhorse; I’ve had it since I was 17 years old. It’s cobalt blue, but I wish I had this color KitchenAid instead.
A good size muffin scoop distributes batter equally and makes prettier pumpkin muffins.
This set of non-stick cooking racks is perfect for letting baked goods rest and cool.
