Ingredients

For the Mini Pumpkin Muffins

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch pumpkin spice

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating (Optional)

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare and Beat

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, lightly grease a mini muffin pan with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and granulated sugar. Then, beat until light and creamy.

Mix the Ingredients

  • Next, add the vanilla extract, egg, and pumpkin puree. Mix the wet ingredients until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin spice.
  • Then gently mix until just combined, without overmixing.

Bake

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about halfway. Then, gently smooth the batter if needed.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Then, remove the muffins from the oven.
  • Let them cool in the pan or on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.

Coat the Muffins (Optional)

  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until combined.
  • Next, lightly dip the tops of the warm muffins into the melted butter. Then, roll or dip them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Lastly, transfer the mini pumpkin muffins to a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
