Easy Pumpkin Muffins With Orange Maple Glaze

Have you ever had a little craving for something spicy, sweet, and citrusy at the same time? These Easy Pumpkin Muffins With Orange Maple Glaze will surely hit the spot! I bet after you have one you won’t be able to stop.

They are tiny, spongy, and packed with a lot of flavor. There are chocolate chips in each one to trigger those “happy” feelings in your brain.

Now that fall is here, the leaves are falling, and the weather is cooler (well anywhere but here in Miami anyway).

Pumpkin is something that I long for. It has this rich complex flavor accompanied by spices that make me want to cook everything. From the savory soups to decadent desserts. I even buy the Pumpkin spiced candles to fill my home with this intoxicating aroma.

These Easy Pumpkin Muffins are great by themselves but add the Orange Maple Glaze and its perfection in a single bite. Who can resist a basket of freshly baked muffins?

If you’re hosting a brunch or a breakfast I promise you they will be a hit. They are also great as an afternoon snack with coffee or tea. Another great idea is to give them out as presents to neighbors, new parents, or even in-laws!

You can make the batter and glaze the night before and just bake when you need them. It does not get any easier than that. And as always, I give out step-by-step instructions so you won’t miss anything.
