Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients
  • 1 small sugar pumpkin, seeded
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To prepare the baking dish, spray it with non-stick cooking spray or place a layer of paper muffin liners inside the 12 available spaces.
3
Next, take your pumpkin and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove any seeds or stringy pulp from the halves, then place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Cover the pumpkin with aluminum foil and bake in your preheated oven until it's tender, taking around 90 minutes to achieve this.
4
Once the pumpkin is cooked, carefully scoop out the pulp and blend it into a smooth puree. Measure out 2 cups of this pumpkin puree and set it aside for later use.
5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients of flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix these dry ingredients together until they're well combined.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and eggs until they form a smooth mixture.
7
Slowly pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth batter.
8
Scoop this batter evenly into each of the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
9
Finally, bake these muffins in your preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of these muffins comes out clean.
