Instructions

- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
- For extra moist muffins, do not overmix the batter.
