Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) melted butter
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and optional nutmeg and ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, egg, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to create the cinnamon-sugar swirl paste.
  6. Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, then add a dollop of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with another tablespoon of batter, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  10. Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a smooth glaze and drizzle over the cooled muffins if desired.

Notes

[‘Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure light and fluffy muffins.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for even baking.’, ‘Be generous with the cinnamon-sugar swirl for maximum flavor.’, ‘Test for doneness with a toothpick; bake for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed.’, “Chill the glaze if it’s too runny before drizzling.”]
