Maple Glaze

Instructions:

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.

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

In another bowl, mix the sugars, butter, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until well combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Mix ingredients for glaze and pour over warm muffins! Enjoy!
