Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the vegetable oil and mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, brewed espresso (or coffee), and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain. If using, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these delightful Pumpkin Spice Latte Muffins warm or at room temperature, perhaps drizzled with a little extra coffee icing, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy muffins.
- Cool muffins completely before frosting or glazing.
