ESTELLE’S FAVORITE PUMPKIN MUFFINS

1 3/4 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 eggs

1 15 ounce can pure pumpkin puree

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and place 12 paper liners into each well of a muffin pan.

Measure the flour, sugars, baking soda, salt and spices in a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together. Do not over mix, just stir until everything is incorporated into the batter.

Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups. Fill each cup to nearly full.

Bake your muffins for 25 minutes. These are marvelous served a bit warm!

A kiss of fall flavor makes these muffins
fit for a grand finale to a seasonal meal!
