Pumpkin Spice Muffins Recipe
Now that pumpkin season has officially arrived, it’s time to start whipping up some delicious baked goods for our families – and what could be more inviting than a fresh batch of Pumpkin Spice Muffins? This recipe is traditionally a fall favorite – but honestly, there’s no reason you can’t enjoy these lightly spiced muffins year round!
One of the things that you’ll love about this Pumpkin Spice Muffin recipe is that it’s so easy to make! Another thing you’ll appreciate is its versatility. For instance, today we’ve topped our muffins with coarse sugar for a decorative touch, but they are just as delicious plan (and they’re absolutely scrumptious if you top them with a cream cheese frosting!)
Ingredients
2 ½ Cups Sugar
1 Cup Canola Oil
2/3 Cup Water
4 Eggs
15 Ounce Can Pure Pumpkin (NOT pumpkin filling!)
3 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
½ Teaspoon Cloves
½ Teaspoon Ginger
½ Cup Coarse Decorating Sugar
TIP: Make sure you that you use 100% pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) in this recipe since you are already adding sugar and spices!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line the muffin pan with 12 regular-sized cupcake liners.
- Combine sugar, oil, water, eggs and pumpkin in a large mixing bowl and beat on low for 1 minute. Do not overmix.
- Add flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Add dry mixture to pumpkin batter and beat on low just until all ingredients are moist.
- Fill the cupcake liners with batter until they are ¾ full.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then remove from oven and sprinkle each muffin with coarse decorating sugar.
- Return the muffins to the oven to finish baking for another 13 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total cooking time should be between 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Move the muffins to a wire baking rack and let them cool completely.

Yum!!! I’m so ready for fall and all the wonderful fall flavors. This is going on my to-try list.
So glad to hear it Beth – we are gearing up for the Fall! 🙂
Your pumpkin recipes are all very sweet — I hope you’ve also tried savory pumpkin dishes because that’s another way to use its flavors to advantage. Sage and onion wouldn’t make a very nice Latte, but they actually make a fine spice mix for pumpkin soup!

Thank you so much for the tip Mae – I will definitely keep that in mind – if you have one to recommend, please link it up to one of my parties and leave a comment so that I can check it out! 🙂
I love anything pumpkin spice and these look delicious! Pinning!
Awesome Roseaan – thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
In NZ pumpkin is either roasted or made into soup – always savoury not sweet. Vive La Difference! Cheers
Isn’t that funny about the regional differences? Please share some of your savory recipes with us! I hope to post more pumpkin recipes throughout the season! 🙂
The best thing about fall are all the pumpkin recipes. I love an easy muffin recipe . Can’t wait to try this!

I just love putting coarse decorating sugar on my muffins. I think it just brings out the flavors of the muffins.
I just pinned this recipe, I love a good pumpkin bread. (And your photo has me drooling!)
Yum, Pumpkin Spice Muffins! This looks like a yummy recipe. I am going to save this and give it a try. I love to make Cranberry Pumpkin bread around Thanksgiving. Last fall, I made Pumpkin Spice donuts which turned out pretty good. I may try the recipe again but I first want to make some cinnamon spice donuts. 🙂
PS: I may be over looking it, but do you not have a print recipe feature on your site? For now, I will save your page as a pdf.
Those look amazing! My husband doesn’t really like pumpkin, but more for me, right? 🙂 Pinning to try!
I so enjoy this time of year – it is my favorite! I just bought some pumpkins this last week. Your muffins look scrumptious!
Congratulations!

Oh my word, I want to reach through my computer screen and grab one of these and shove it in my mouth. Pinned! Stopping by from #FridayFrivolity!
YUM! This recipe is similar to mine (that I got from a grandparent.) And it is wonderful! Yours calls for less sugar, and I am all about less sugar, so I’m going to try your recipe next time. I have never topped them with coarse sugar–what a good idea! It looks so pretty and adds a little zip. I’m with you, I think these would be good year round!
Hope you like it Pam – recipes from grandparents are the best! 🙂
