Ingredients

Scale

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

½ cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ cup melted butter (for swirl)

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon (for swirl)

½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

2–3 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the swirl. Set aside.
Spoon a tablespoon of the muffin batter into each cupcake liner, followed by a teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture, then top with another tablespoon of batter.
Use a toothpick to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon mixture together.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, prepare the cream cheese glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Once the muffins have cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top before serving.
