These muffins have a super soft, fluffy crumb and taste like the essence of Autumn. I leave half the batch as-is, and then top the other half with a homemade cream cheese drizzle. Eat for breakfast, for snack, or for dessert.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a muffin tin with liners, grease with butter, or use silicone.
Add dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk until combined. Tip: Store this seasonal dry mix in a jar for later, or even gift it!
1¾ cups high quality gluten-free all-purpose flour containing xanthan gum, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon salt
Add the wet ingredients to a medium bowl and stir until just combined.
15 oz. can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature. Best enjoyed within three days.
