Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ c. sugar
- ⅔ c. vegetable oil
- ⅔ c. water
- 4 large eggs
- 15-oz. can of pure pumpkin
- 3½ c. all-purpose flour
- 2 t. baking soda
- 1 t. salt
- 1½ t. ground cinnamon
- 1 t. ground nutmeg
- ½ t. ground cloves

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with 12 regular-sized cupcake liners. Set aside.
- Combine sugar, oil, water, eggs, and pumpkin puree in a large mixing bowl and beat on low for 1 minute. (You can also beat by hand if preferred). Do not overmix.
