Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree/canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup neutral flavored oil (like canola, vegetable, avocado)
- 1/2 cup no-sugar added applesauce
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see note)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (see note)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract (see note)
Instruction:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 24 muffins total, prepared in two paper-lined standard muffin tins.
- Whisk the eggs, pumpkin, oil, applesauce, and sugar in a sizable bowl.
- Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Just combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones; do not overmix or the muffins may turn out dense and somewhat heavy.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins that have been preheated, filling each cup about 2/3 full (or slightly more than that). I use my #20 cookie scoop to portion the batter into the muffin tin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached, until the tops of the muffins spring back to the touch.
- Take out of the muffin tin and place on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- To make the glaze, combine the ingredients in a bowl, adding more cream as needed to achieve the desired pourability while maintaining a thick consistency.
- With a spoon or fork, drizzle the glaze over the baked goods and then serve.
