Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or non-dairy milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla extract; mix well.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. For the filling, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and additional cinnamon in a small bowl.
  5. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, add about a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of each cup, then top with more batter until three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cooling for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth; drizzle over cooled muffins.
