  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs (large)
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp mlik

  1. Preheat & prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease with butter.
  2. Dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
  3. Wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add pumpkin purée, applesauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and milk. Whisk until combined.
  4. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir just until everything is incorporated, don’t over mix.
  5. Fill & bake: Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. Make the maple glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and pinch of salt together until smooth. It should be pourable but not watery; add more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  7. Glaze the muffins: Once muffins are fully cooled, drizzle or spoon the glaze over the tops. Let set for about 15 minutes before serving.
