Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in your desired add-ins.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moist muffins, you can use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree, but reduce the sugar slightly as pie filling is often sweetened.
These muffins freeze well. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
You can top the muffins with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before baking for a bit of crunch.
Adjust spices to your preference. Add more cinnamon or a pinch of allspice for a bolder flavor.
