Pumpkin muffins refer to a type of baked good made with pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin, flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. These ingredients are mixed together to create a moist and flavorful muffin that is often associated with fall and Thanksgiving celebrations due to the use of pumpkin in the recipe. Pumpkin muffins can be sweet or savory depending on the additional ingredients used, such as chocolate chips for a sweet version or cheese and herbs for a savory one.
