  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the canned pumpkin puree is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the batter. If you prefer a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat and can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
