2 tsp baking powder

1 + ½ tsp cinnamon
-
½ tsp nutmeg
-
½ tsp ginger
-
¼ tsp ground cloves
-
¼ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
-
1 + ¼ cups canned pumpkin puree
-
⅓ cup Greek yogurt
-
6 Tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
-
¾ cup brown sugar
-
¼ cup sugar
-
¼ cup vegetable oil
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 large eggs
Glaze:
-
2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt together.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy — about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the vegetable oil and vanilla until it’s well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
-
Put your mixer on low speed and add the dry ingredients and pumpkin mixture alternating in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating until the mixture is just incorporated.
-
Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tray. Place it in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes.
-
To make the glaze, combine the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until it’s smooth.
-
Once the muffins are done, let them cool for 10 minutes, then dip the muffin into the glaze.
