- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (more or less you decide)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F (190C). Grease and flour a 12 medium size muffin pan or a 6 large size muffin pan.
- In a large bowl whisk together until smooth oil, eggs and pumpkin puree until combined.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt, sugars and nuts.
- Then add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. And mix with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined (about 15-16 stirs). Spoon into the prepared muffin tin* (if using the large one use 5 if medium i think 10 you see). Bake approximately 15-20 minutes check with a toothpick. Let the muffins cool, then remove from the tin to cool completely. Drizzle with Cinnamon glaze if desired. Enjoy!
