How to Make Pumpkin Muffins:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a small bowl, mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients:

3. Add Eggs & Vanilla:
   Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until fully combined.

6. Cool:
   Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
