Instructions
For the Muffins:
- Set oven to 375ºF
- Prepare a 6-slot muffin tin with paper liners (or a larger one, if multiplying the recipe)
- In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients except sugar
- Add eggs to a large mixing bowl and mix by hand or using a hand mixer on low speed until combined and fluffy
- Add oil and pumpkin puree, mixing well until combined
- Add sugar and mix gradually increasing the speed, until well combined
- Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined – do not over-mix!
- Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula, making sure there are no flour pockets and that all dry ingredients are incorporated
- Use a scoop to transfer batter into the prepared muffin tin
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes (use a toothpick to test the center of the muffins)
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting
For the Frosting:
- Once muffins have cooled completely, add butter to a mixing bowl
- Whip butter to a lighter consistency
- Add pumpkin puree and whip until well combined
- Scrape sides with a spatula and add vanilla extract and pumpkin spice, mix well
- Gradually add powdered sugar, a few spoonfuls at a time, mixing well and scraping the sides between each addition and the next

- Sprinkle pepitas and sugar immediately, if using
- Let sit for a few hours for the frosting to set, or put in the fridge for a few minutes (don’t leave too long in the fridge or it might dry the muffins)
