Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowls:

Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 cup Milk
  • 0.5 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar For optional glaze
  • 1-2 tablespoons Milk For optional glaze
  • 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For optional glaze

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In a larger bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
  • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
  • Spoon half of the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture on top, then layer the remaining batter over it.
  • Gently swirl with a toothpick or fork to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • If desired, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for glaze, and drizzle over cooled muffins.
