Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gradually add the milk, stirring until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added texture, you can stir in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
