Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) (about 1 ½ cups)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- Coarse sugar, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and eggs. Add the pumpkin and vanilla extract; whisk to combine. Sprinkle baking soda, baking powder, and salt over top. Whisk until well blended. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice; be careful not to over-mix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Each cup will be really full, which yields those tall muffin tops. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of coarse sugar on top of each muffin. It seems like a lot of sugar for each muffin, but this is what gives them those bakery-style sugar-crusted tops!
- Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes
- Make sure that you use a can of 100% pure pumpkin puree, which is different from canned pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin pie mix. The pure pumpkin puree is unsweetened and doesn't include any spices or other seasonings.
- Use either canola oil or vegetable oil. You want a neutral oil that will not flavor the muffins, so don't use olive oil. Feel free to substitute with melted unsalted butter if you prefer.
- Sift the flour to avoid any big clumps in your batter.
- Be careful not to over-mix the batter. You want it to come together so that everything is combined, but then stop stirring! Mixing too much will result in dry, dense muffins.
