Why It Works
The combination of all-purpose flour and pumpkin puree creates a moist and fluffy muffin.
The granulated sugar and brown sugar add sweetness and depth of flavor.
The vegetable oil helps to keep the muffins moist and tender.
The spices give the muffins their signature pumpkin spice flavor.
Baking the muffins at a moderate temperature ensures that they cook evenly without overcooking.
