- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or nonstick spray.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add and mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

- Add ½ cup chopped pecans to the batter for a nutty crunch.
