Ingredients
Directions
- Set your oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup pumpkin puree, ¼ cup oil, ¼ cup applesauce, 2 whisked eggs, and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing. Fold in optional chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to fill each liner about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack.
