I like fall and its cozy atmosphere, and the vivid orange–brown colors that nature adopts during this time of the year makes everything feel, smell and look homey!

These pumpkin spice muffins have fall written all over them. My kitchen was filled with the pleasant warm aromas of clove, ginger, cinnamon and pumpkin while I was baking those little cups of joy.

You can add a simple cinnamon cream frosting on top for richness.

Ingredients Needed:

To make the Pumpkin Spice Muffins you will need all–purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger powder, nutmeg, clove powder, cinnamon, eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil and pumpkin puree.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Making the Muffins

Preheat oven to 350F (180C) and line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
In a mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and oil. Add the pumpkin puree and mix well. Fold in the flour mixture and stir to combine.

Fill up the prepared muffin pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

Use a piping bag to decorate your muffins or simply spread the frosting on top and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Making the Frosting

In a stand mixer fitted with wire attachment (you can use hand mixer too) whisk on high speed the heavy cream with vanilla until a soft peak forms. Add cinnamon and honey and whisk for another minute or two until well combined.
