Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with 18 cups. In a large bowl, whisk together all the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices until everything is well mixed. In another bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, milk, and melted butter, then beat it all together for a couple of minutes until smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until you get a nice, smooth batter. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 2
Pop the muffins into the oven and bake for around 25 to 30 minutes, or until they’re golden on top and a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack while you make the glaze. For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and melted butter, then add milk a little at a time until it's thin enough to drizzle. Once the muffins are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These muffins are a cozy treat perfect for fall or any time you crave warm spices. They are naturally gluten-free, making them a great choice for those with dietary restrictions. Plus, they have a moist texture and rich flavor without needing any complicated ingredients.
How to serve
Enjoy these muffins warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They also pair well with a cup of coffee or spiced tea for a comforting snack. For a festive touch, top with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting.
Storage & leftovers
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped, then thaw at room temperature or warm gently before serving. This helps keep them soft and flavorful.
