Maple Glazed Pumpkin Muffins
Maple glazed pumpkin muffins give you two of the season's iconic flavors in one delicious breakfast treat. Moist, pumpkin spiced, and topped with a sweet maple glaze, they have to be the perfect way to start a fall day.
Servings: 10 muffins
Equipment
- standard muffin tin and liners
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
glaze
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp water, or more to thin
- 1/2 tsp maple extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F Spray or line a muffin tin with paper liners
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, pumpkin, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and spices until well combined.
- Whisk in the salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure these are combined well.
- Fold in the flour and mix just until no dry flour remains. At this point you want to make sure not to over-mix your batter.
- Fill 10 muffin cups to the top. Bake for about 25-27 minutes.
- Cool the muffins on a rack before glazing.
- While the muffins are cooling, make the glaze. Mix the powdered sugar with the maple syrup and enough water to make a glaze consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons of water. Blend in the extract, if using.
- Dip each (cooled!) muffin, headfirst, into the glaze, then flip over and let dry on a rack. If the glaze is too thin, add a bit more sugar, and if it's too thick, thin with a little more syrup. Let the glaze harden before devouring.
