Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 12 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or grease.

    2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.

    3. In a separate bowl whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

    4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold gently until just combined without overmixing.

    5. In a small bowl mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to make cinnamon roll filling.

    6. Spoon half of the muffin batter into each cup, add a teaspoon of filling, then top with remaining batter.

    7. Warm chocolate hazelnut spread slightly and add a dollop to each muffin, swirling with a skewer for a marbled effect.

    8. Bake 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean; cool in pan 5 minutes then transfer to a rack.

    9. For glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk until drizzling consistency and add a pinch of cinnamon if desired.

    10. Drizzle glaze over warm muffins, serve with coffee or tea, and store cooled muffins in an airtight container.
