Notes
- Flour - Measure the flour in a measuring cup and level it with a knife. You can replace flour with whole wheat flour too.

- Room temperature - Use all ingredients at room temperature which is mandatory.
- Mixing batter - Do not overmix the batter as it may result in hard muffins. Just fold in gently.
- Add on - You can add ¼ cup chocolate chips to the batter to make chocolate chip pumpkin muffins.
- Liners - Muffin liners are must for this recipe as the batter tends to stick a bit.
- Adding batter - Add batter till ¾th of the liner to get domed top muffins.
