    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 1 ½ cups sugar
    • 2 ½ cups flour
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • ½ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and sugar until smooth.

  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
