Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet and fold gently until just combined.
5. Toss white chocolate chips with a bit of flour and fold into the batter.
6. Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Top with extra chips.
7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling, for best texture and flavor.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the pan to avoid soggy bottoms.
