Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
4
Stir in the quick oats, packed brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts, ensuring an even distribution of dry ingredients throughout the mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the vegetable oil, milk, and solid-pack pumpkin. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
6
Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring just until combined and the batter is evenly moist. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins fluffy.
7
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full to allow space for rising.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, and the tops spring back when pressed lightly.
9
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
