How to Make Pumpkin Ginger Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped crystallized ginger.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg, then stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the remaining ½ cup chopped crystallized ginger.
  7. Fill muffin cups ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
