Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 12 muffin cups with liners or lightly grease them.
  • Make a pumpkin puree and let it cool (this step is in case you don't use canned pumpkin puree). For a better result, roast the pumpkin in the oven.
  • Whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the oil with the sugar. Add the pumpkin puree and mix. Add the eggs one by one, beating after each addition.
  • Add the dry ingredients along with the milk, and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pans. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full, dividing the mixture as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. To check if it's ready, insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin; it should come out clean, with no batter streaks.
  • Let cool before removing.

Notes

Store the muffins covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
