Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet pumpkin mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup melted butter, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl filling.
  6. Layer Batter and Swirl: Spoon a portion of the muffin batter into each muffin cup, add a layer of the cinnamon swirl mixture, then top with the remaining batter to create a delicious cinnamon swirl effect inside each muffin.
  7. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While the muffins bake, whisk together powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl until smooth and creamy for drizzling.
  9. Glaze and Serve: Once the muffins have cooled slightly but are still warm, drizzle the glaze over the tops. Serve and enjoy the comforting flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon in every bite!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil and use non-dairy milk in the glaze.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon for the best flavor in both the batter and cinnamon swirl.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To reheat, warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds for a freshly baked taste.
