Step 1: Ingredients

You may print the recipe here if you like.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups of canned pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of canola or vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups of all purpose flour (2 tablespoons less)
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 3/4 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp of nutmeg

Topping (optional)

  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/3 cup of flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup of softened butter

Step 2: Mix First Batch of Ingredients

First let's preheat our oven to 350 degrees F. Then let's add our canned pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs. Next, using a mixer, give it a good mix until all combined.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

Now let's mix together our remaining dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg) with a whisk or sifter.

Step 4: Combine Flour Mixture With Pumpkin Mixture

Now we add the flour mixture about 1/4 at a time and stir/combine it together with a wooden spoon. We don't want to over mix it, that is why we are only using a wooden spoon and not our mixer. When it is done it will form a nice batter.

Step 5: Prepare the Crumble Topping (Optional)

I like a good crumble on top of my muffins, so I decided to put a crumble on some of these. It is optional, you can skip this step if you like. Combine the flour, cinnamon, and sugar, then add the softened butter and mix it all together with a fork.

Step 6: Fill Up the Paper Cups

Now we just fill up our paper cups about 2/3 of the way full with the batter. Next we top them off with our crumble. Now we bake them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean after poking it.
