Notes

Make sure you purchase pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling as the filling already contains sugar and seasonings.
If you don’t have muffin liners, grease each muffin tin thoroughly and dust with a layer of flour to prevent them from sticking.
Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before mixing them with the other ingredients for even cooking.
Do not fill the muffin liners all the way as they will rise in the oven and spill over losing their muffin shape and consistency.
When mixing the wet and dry ingredients together, it's important not to overmix the batter as it can become too dense when baked. Mix just until everything is combined.
