Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the swirl until paste-like.
- Fill each muffin liner halfway with pumpkin batter, then add a spoonful of cinnamon swirl mixture on top and cover with more batter, swirling gently with a toothpick.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Prepare the cream cheese glaze by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until your desired consistency is reached.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cooled muffins before serving.
