3 cups flour (cake or all-purpose - cake will make a softer muffin)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. cloves
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup oil
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine wet ingredients in another bowl. Combine wet ingredients and dry ingredients, mixing just until moistened.
Fill paper-lined muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake in a pre-heated 375° oven for 20 minutes or until tested done with a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffin.

I absolutely love your site.... Truly an answer to my need for new ideas to make my cooking life easier !!! :) Wonderful tasty muffins... even though I burned them slightly... Silly me, I did not set the timer for a couple of minutes before the expected 20 minutes.... This made exactly enough for 24 yummy muffins... Thank you so much for the time and effort you have invested here.. so very kind of you.... I'm from just outside of Toronto :)

Thanks so much, Jessica and Kelly. And thanks for your kind words on my site, Kelly. I'm glad you enjoyed the muffins. I'm just a little north of you!

MMMMMmmm just out of the oven and SO good - this recipe is my go to pumpkin muffin now! They are so tender! I halved the recipe as hubby is away with the military right now in NB and still got 18 modest muffins. I have been sending the kids to the neighbours to distribute and getting rave review phone calls already -- who can resist? (Nothin says luvin like a warm muffin!) Kids love them too. Now I have to go buy more pumpkin!! Thanks AGAIN for another great recipe Jen!

Nice recipe! I had some leftover pumpkin puree that needed using up. I did a half recipe, added cardamon and cocoa powder to make a chocolate-pumpkin muffin. Turned out brilliantly.
