Description
The Quick One-Bowl Pumpkin Spice Muffins are a soft, moist, and perfectly spiced fall treat. With the richness of pumpkin purée and the warmth of pumpkin pie spice, these muffins create an inviting, seasonal aroma when baked. The best part? You don’t need to mess with too many bowls or complicated techniques – everything is mixed in just one bowl!
Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour for a healthier option)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon + ½ tsp ginger + ¼ tsp nutmeg + ¼ tsp cloves)
2 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
¼ cup milk (any kind)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
2. Mix the Batter (in one bowl!)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin purée, sugars, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice directly into the same bowl.
Gently mix until just combined — don’t overmix (a few lumps are fine!).
3. Fill Muffin Cups
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
4. Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or a handful of chopped nuts on top before baking for extra crunch and flavor. These muffins are perfect warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of maple syrup!
