Easy Pumpkin Muffins Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup raw sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup oil (vegetable oil or coconut oil or melted butter)
- 1 cup golden raisins (optional but delicious- you can add in chopped walnuts or pecans instead if you like as another delicious choice)
Instead of ¼ tsp ground nutmeg and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
I love to bake with golden raisins. They add a great flavor to recipes that is different than a traditional raisin. They also plump up a bit more and are incredibly juicy! Have you ever substituted golden raisins in a recipe? To me, they are so much better in baked goods!
Gather your ingredients, preheat the oven, and prepare to enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of homemade pumpkin muffins. Get ready to impress your family, friends, or guests with your newfound expertise.
How To Make Pumpkin Muffins (Easy):
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a medium size bowl.
Stir together pumpkin puree, milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
To achieve light and fluffy muffins, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. This will help create a tender crumb and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Stir in golden raisins until just combined. Once you’ve perfectly blended the batter, it’s time to fill your muffin cups.
Line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers. I like to double the muffin liners as it prevents the bottoms from scorching. You could also grease your muffin pan and spoon batter directly into the pan if you’d rather not use paper liners.
Use a spoon or a scoop to portion the muffin batter into the cups, filling them about three-quarters of the way full. This will allow the muffins to rise and develop a beautiful dome shape as they bake.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin – it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Once they pass the toothpick test, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
Then serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Get ready to amaze your friends and family with these easy-to-make, bakery-quality pumpkin muffins.

These were the best best pumpkin muffins. The warm spices are perfect for a chilly fall morning. I don’t know why but my kids LOVE golden raisins…they ask for those rather than ‘regular’ raisins even now as teens! I guess we all have our family favorites!
