  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

For the cinnamon swirl:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the glaze (optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, mix the oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon for the swirl.
  6. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, add a spoonful of the cinnamon swirl mixture, then top with more batter. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes, then remove them from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
  9. If desired, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make a glaze. Drizzle over the cooled muffins.
  10. Serve and enjoy these warm, fluffy pumpkin cinnamon roll muffins!
