Maple Glazed Pumpkin Muffins

Moist and perfectly spiced pumpkin muffins topped with a sweet, crackly maple syrup glaze. A quintessential autumn breakfast treat.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
3 tbsp pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1–2 tsp milk or cream (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula just until combined.
Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 6: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Step 8: While muffins cool, whisk the powdered sugar and maple syrup together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled muffins.

Notes

Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner drizzle, add a splash of milk.
