Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup salted butter, melted
Add-ins
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Tins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper muffin cups or grease them thoroughly with non-stick spray to ensure the muffins don’t stick during baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside for later.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin puree, and melted salted butter together on low speed until just combined. Avoid overbeating to maintain a tender texture.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating just until moistened. Make sure not to overmix the batter, as that can make the muffins tough.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Tins and Bake: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool the Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set and make removal easier.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- If pumpkin puree is unavailable, canned pure pumpkin can be used as a substitute.
- To make these muffins dairy-free, substitute the melted butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For additional texture, consider adding chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts.
