Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 2 cups Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a jumbo muffin tin with jumbo paper liners or grease each cup generously with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stir just until the ingredients are combined and no pockets of flour remain.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to create beautifully domed muffins.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 28–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins are baking, prepare the molasses ginger glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, molasses, grated fresh ginger, and water until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a few more drops of water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the muffins are cool, drizzle the molasses ginger glaze over the tops using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 10

Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve the muffins and enjoy!
