Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with liners or non-stick spray.
  2. Combine pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by melting butter and mixing it with brown sugar and cinnamon until cohesive.
  6. Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon swirl to the center of each muffin and swirl gently.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over cooled muffins after about 10 minutes of cooling.
